Database Backup Error

[TweedyBird]

I just went to my admin page to do a database backup under tools/database backup mysql and when I try to download without storing on the server I get this error message


Result code: 127
ERROR: Could not locate the MYSQLDUMP backup utility. BACKUP FAILED.

Could someone please help me out and point me in the direction to fix this error.



Thanks In Advance

As your host for the path to the "mysqldump" binary.

And then set that path in the language file:
/admin/includes/languages/english/backup_mysql.php

// define the locations of the mysql utilities.  Typical location is in '/usr/bin/' ... but not on Windows servers.
// try 'c:/mysql/bin/mysql.exe' and 'c:/mysql/bin/mysqldump.exe' on Windows hosts ... change drive letter and path as needed
define('LOCAL_EXE_MYSQL',     '/usr/bin/mysql');  // used for restores
define('LOCAL_EXE_MYSQLDUMP', '/usr/bin/mysqldump');  // used for backups

Similar instructions are in the readme for this contribution.

Will do.

I am having the exact same error. it used to work just fine. I re-installed the backup add on and changed the folder to admin folder to 777. i can't figure out what is wrong. It worked in AUG.
