    help question BACKUP_MYSQL Admin Tool: Unknown MySQL server host

    I just installed:
    BACKUP_MYSQL Admin Tool v1.3
    Designed for: Zen Cart v1.2.x and 1.3.x series
    on Zen Cart 1.3.8a

    but after clicking the backup button Im getting these errors:

    Result code: 2
    0 => mysqldump: Got error: 2005: Unknown MySQL server host 'localhost:/tmp/mysql5.sock' (1) when trying to connect

    Failure: The database has NOT been saved.

    I assume that the script can't find the SQL server, so my questions is: where/how do I correct this?

    Default Re: BACKUP_MYSQL Admin Tool

    I haven't used that mod, but I have used this one, and it works fine - you might try it instead:
