Backup MySql not visible in Tools menu

[dcporter]

I have installed Backup MySql to exact specs and it will not show up in the Tools menu. I deleted the entire ZC and updated to ZC 1.51 and reinstalled everything, and still nothing. I search the entire forum for an answer and nothing works.
I use Blue Host and they seem to support everything that is required. So after 3 days now I have not been able to get this plugin to show up. What am I missing?

Which "version" of the plugin did you install?
If you used the version designed for v1.3.x, then it won't show up on v1.5.x

[dcporter]

I installed the latest one, 1.5.

There are a few files and folders in the zip. What exactly did you do with each of them?

According to the instructions I did a direct transfer of the Includes folder into my Includes folder (under the main admin) and also transferred the single file, backup_mysql, into my main admin folder.

For the version designed for v1.5.1:

Basic plugin instructions:
1. the files must be copied into place
2. then you must login to your admin. This activates the built-in auto-install of menu capability.

Basic admin menu instructions:
3. then if the user account you logged into isn't the one with SuperUser privileges, you'll need to login as whoever has SuperUser privileges, then go to the Admin Access Management menu, go to the Admin Profiles screen, and grant access to other profiles as desired.

The files are copied into the exact location on my server where they are supposed to be. I'll be happy to send a print screen if that helps.
I've logged into my admin several times and checked the Tools menu and nothing is there.
I have SuperUser status in my user account. There are no other profiles under User Profile.
Your written instructions have been very easy to follow; don't know why it's not showing up in my Tools menu.

You have another forum thread talking about identical symptoms with another plugin.

Maybe you've installed yet another plugin that's broken the menu system? Something designed for an older version?

I did a clean install of ZC 1.51 and and added the latest version, 1.5 of Backup MySql right away. I had done this previously and had the same results. That's why I deleted everything off my server and started fresh, even re-naming and re-installing my data files. I also changed my Core FTP program to the commercial WS FTP in case there was a glitch there. I'm short of contacting my hosting company, but usually there response is it's a software problem.

Just remembered. I did install Backup_zc 1.1 first. No entry in Tools menu. Then I installed Backup MySql. Also no entry in Tools menu.
