'mysqldump" "--host' is not recognized as an internal or external command

Bit of a mega bump but did not see a support thread for this so -

I am also having problems using the sql backup - turned on the debug as described and what I get is ..

Would you have any idea where I am in trouble on this ??

Thanks in advance for any help.

You're on a Windows server; thus you need to change one parameter to deal with windows limitations:

Thanks for the reply - I have done as instructed but now get

Result code: 1

It appears that the "--host" issue has been resolved but there is still something amiss. :lookaroun

Find out what the correct path is for the mysqldump.exe program, and enter that specifically in the /admin/includes/languages/english/backup_mysql.php file.

This does not seem to be anywhere on my host. Is this available as a stand alone program and if so is it just a case of uploading it to the relevant folder specified in /admin/includes/languages/english/backup_mysql.php file.

Thanks again.

It comes as part of a standard install of MySQL. You'll have to ask your hosting company to install it to the server.
