backup_mysql_plugin_v1.3

[colemanpa]

This is the error I get at the top of my screen when I surf to the admin page for database backup MySQL

“Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.”

There is a Directory /admin/backups/ with the permission of 777

This is what I have in my /admin/includes/configure.php

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'admin/backups/');

I have tried just /backups/ it does not work

I don’t get it, anyone else get this error before, I looked around but didn’t see it, any idea’s

[Ajeh]

Should be written:

  define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/'); 

[colemanpa]

I have tried that still does not work same error!

What are the whole contents of your admin configure.php file, without the database password?

This seems odd ...

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/var/www/html/.../');

[colemanpa]

yes! I don't get it, it was working and I had two backup in the directory and when I look they are still there but they don't show up in the admin page anymore

[colemanpa]

Sorry about the last reply, was thinking of something else, that I use clarkconnect in that the path to the web

[colemanpa]

thanks DrByte I am an very dumb, that fixed it, thats what I used to call the admin directory, the security brief said to rename your admin directory for security reasons and ... is what I used to call the directory if you name it that it is invisible to most clients and you have to know it's there to use it.
