Backup not working at all

[bhl007]

sir, after I hit Backup, and go to see the attach folder, doesn't have backup file generated

the path I try before is:

// for problems with backup / restore.
 //$sqlpath = "/usr/bin/mysql/";
 //$sqlpath = "/usr/local/bin/mysql/";
 //$sqlpath = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/";
 //$sqlpath = "/usr/local/psa/mysql/bin/";
 $sqlpath = '/usr/bin/';
 //$sqlpath = '/usr/local/bin/';

And, my host correct path is $sqlpath= /usr/bin/mysql

I plan to upgrade to v1.8, but since this backup function not working, what should I do?

What if I download the backup in .gz from the cpanel>backup ?
What if I export all the sql table file from phpmyadmin ?

Will it affect the file... when I restore backup if I use these method?

[bhl007]

I try to upgrade by overwrite all the file except the folder- attach, cgi, xtra
Upgrade is done without any problem. So I go to try out the functions inside it.

When I try to backup, error come out.

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

Download Click Save and choose type All Files
Delete the file once you have saved it.

The backup only 1 byte???
After download and open the file, it is just a empty page...

What happened.  :cry:

And, my host correct path is $sqlpath= /usr/bin/mysql

Did you make sure to add a trailing slash to this path in config.php?

[bhl007]

means? Is this correct?

// for problems with backup / restore.
   $sqlpath = "/usr/bin/mysql/";
// $sqlpath = "/usr/local/bin/mysql/";
// $sqlpath = "/usr/local/mysql/bin/";
// $sqlpath = "/usr/local/psa/mysql/bin/";

Yes, that appears correct.  I am not sure why it still isn't working.  Have you tried commenting out ALL of the $sqlpath lines in config.php?  Perhaps the new detect code will work for you.

I get the same error...

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

The Backup feature does not seem to work and you would think that this is an important feature that needs to work all the time. :shock:

I am trying to move to Dreamhost but don't need anymore problems in my life right now.  I want to make a smooth transition from host to another with the least amount of problems.

Is this a bug or does it just not work with some configurations?  Does the backup feature work for some listmailpro users?

Thanks,

I forgot to mention that I am using the lastest version -  1.8 (official release)

And I meant to say "I want to make a smooth transition from one host to another with the least amount of problems"  


see ya....

Don,

The detection code is still a tad problematic, so you might need to manually enter the path to MySQL on your server in config.php as noted earlier in this post.

Alternately, you can Export all of your tables with PhpMyAdmin, as noted in this post.

If you're moving to DreamHost as my referral I don't mind taking care of migration and installation free of charge.  Submit a ticket of the type 'other' here.  Please include details of both servers.

Experiencing same problem with back up.

Went to insert the manual path to MySql, but wasn't exactly sure where in config.php I should be inserting the code.

I tried to look at one of my back up copies of config.php and found it under the international character line. --

But, when I try to run the backup, here's the error message I received.

"Optimizing tables... DONE
Writing backup file...
Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/goldenme/public_html/M5/editconf.php on line 67

Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/goldenme/public_html/M5/editconf.php on line 71


DONE

Any thoughts on what to do next?

[DW]

You'll have to do a manual backup with the instructions noted in this post.
