Backup MySQL Plug-in - install problem

[pixelwrangler]

This was the first thing I checked. All of the files are on the server, in their proper folders. I had to first create a admin/boxes/extraboxes structure, as there was no "boxes" folder off of admin/

I just rechecked the server, and all of the files are present.

The downloaded ZIP archive of the Backup MYSQL plug in consists of:

admin readme.txt
includes/ backup_mysql.php
boxes languages
extra_boxes english
backup_mysqltools_dhtml.php backup_mysql.php


extra_datafiles
backup_mysql.php

I had to first create a admin/boxes/extraboxes structure, as there was no "boxes" folder off of admin/

It should be /admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes ... note the "/includes/" part in there.

All your menu options are prepared from the /admin/includes/boxes (and extra_boxes) folders. So, there should have been no need to create any new folders.

Sorry - my attempt to format my message didn't quite work out.

I checked and the paths are correct.

There's got to be a simple explanation, but for now, I don't see it.

Thanks for your help.

On a seperate note, I have installed the plugin and it worked, however since I moved the site to another domain the button for "backup" doesn't show up.

Also when I click delete and confirm deletion the db remains listed. Any help appreciated!

Check that the directory:
/admin/backups

has the right permissions ...

It's set to 777, is that the correct value?

My install, which doesn't work, did not create an admin/backups folder. Should I create one manually and CHMOD to 777?
