Backup not verifying in 1.8

[john2]

Just installed 1.8 and when running backup it says:

Optimizing tables... DONE
Writing backup file... DONE
Verifying backup file... NOT FOUND

Is there a path for verifying that needs to be changed?  Where is the file written, and what is it called?

Anticipating the problem was a CHMOD problem, I changed it to 777.  Now the backup verify shows a missing data table.

Optimizing tables... DONE
Writing backup file... DONE
Verifying backup file... ERROR - MISSING DATA TABLES

On examing the file in FTP client, I see a file that it tried to write, but only has 1 byte of data.

ListMail may not be correctly detecting the path to MySQL on your server.  You might try some alternatives from the config.php file, noted in this post.

If you like, submit your server information to me, along with a note, and I will see if I can fix the detection.

I played with the different path settings you //'d out in config.php and found this one that worked:

$sqlpath = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/";

Thanks for the pointer.  Sorry to bother you.

It's no bother at all.  Please don't hesitate to ask something else or post your suggestions in the Development forum.
