This is sick. I was able to activate you WP-ServerInfo Plugin!

GaMerZ · « **Reply #81 on:** 14 August 2007, 07:21 »

it means there maybe a slight problem with the other plugin.

vogelmann · « **Reply #82 on:** 14 August 2007, 07:27 »

Means?

GaMerZ · « **Reply #83 on:** 14 August 2007, 08:15 »

no idea, the error wordpress gives it too vague.

Me confused...

I'm having a similar problem (among many others)...

When I change the mysqldump and mysql paths under the "Database Options" tab it doesnt seem to have any effect. How do I change the path?

GaMerZ · « **Reply #86 on:** 08 September 2007, 01:19 »

doesn't seem as in it does not save the options or it does not work?

Ttech · « **Reply #87 on:** 08 September 2007, 01:29 »

What do you mean? You go to the options page and change the path...

The old version functioned well, but now I error.

Checking MYSQL Dump Path ...
MYSQL dump path does NOT exist. Please check your mysqldump path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator.

We checked and everything seems fine.

[root@venus ~]# which mysqldump
/usr/bin/mysqldump
[root@venus ~]# which mysql
/usr/bin/mysql

WP-DBManager it works well even if you do not find the path mysql ...? ignoring the error ...?

GaMerZ · « **Reply #89 on:** 02 June 2008, 11:27 »

The script may not have access to check for the path on some servers and hence the error. As long as it runs fine, no worries =)

Okay, thank you GaMerZ

WP-DBManager 2.31

I have the same problem, the path to mysql is definintely /usr/bin/, I've done the which command and I've looked in the file manager and both mysql and mysqldump are in /usr/bin/

But it says:

Quote

MYSQL dump path does NOT exist. Please check your mysqldump path under DB Options.

I ignore the error but it won't do the backup.

Database Version is v5.0.45. I just moved to a new host, there are a few other things that are not working right as well, so... I asked the support there, they said talk to the third party developer...

System is

CPU -   AuthenticAMD, Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 2214 HE
Version -   psa v8.6.0_build86080722.00 os_CentOS 5
OS -   Linux 2.6.9-023stab046.2-entnosplit

Do you have permission to run it? Try if you can backup using shell, http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_Database#Using_Straight_MySQL_Commands

patung · « **Reply #93 on:** 06 August 2008, 17:00 »

Hi Lester, I can backup via shell no problem, I just find your plugin more convenient.

Might it have anything to do with User:Group ownership because I had problems with that when I moved my files into the new server?

Or in Plesk I haven't given enough permissions to the "Client" which runs the domain?

GaMerZ · « **Reply #94 on:** 06 August 2008, 17:16 »

Hmm, i am not so sure about that part as I am not using Plesk, but I don't think it is a Plesk issue unless Plesk also controls mysqldump or mysql. You may want to try http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/ as that plugin is using phpmyadmin way of backing up rather than shell access and hence it should not have any permission issue.

I'm also getting the path error, but it seems to be performing the backups anyway.

GaMerZ · « **Reply #96 on:** 11 August 2008, 11:17 »

Check to ensure that the backup is valid by opening them.

Steph · « **Reply #97 on:** 12 August 2008, 04:11 »

Not sure how to make sure if it's valid, don't really know what a valid one would look like.

Definitely got a lot of stuff in there though, I'll email my host and see what the proper path should be.

Ok just got the reply. He disabled the php opendir for my account and it's all green now.

tonyjk3 · « **Reply #98 on:** 09 September 2008, 02:35 »

Yeah, I'm getting the same error - but it seems to backup fine.
It would be nice if when it does the first backup, if its successful, mark something to override the error so everything is green.

GaMerZ · « **Reply #99 on:** 09 September 2008, 02:44 »

It is hard to determine whether the backup is successful or not using a script as the file may get some contents itside that is not the data.
