If you had put all the right files in the right place then I'm sure you wouldn't be asking why the mod is not showing in your admin area. So first thing first, check, and then check again, that you have put them in the right place.

Hi
Can you paste url with plugin you did installed?
Which version of zencart you are using?
Have you registered new page in admin page registration area (if 1.5x zen)??

I am using zencart ver 1.54, and the plugin is from https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1112
this plugin is easy just copy and past to admin directory will done. the file is in the right location

And you placed the files into your renamed admin folder rather than just uploading the mod admin folder itself without matching it's name to your admin?
Have you reloaded the files again (in case of failed upload)?
How are you uploading the fileset, ftp, cpanel?

I use ftp to upload , I open each directory to put it in
ok I will try to reload it again
thanks

:no: I upload the backup zc (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1112) one more time
I open all the folders and put it in
still cannot see in the admin>tool folder

So to be clear... You have your site files where there are folders such as /images/, /cache, /logs/, /download/, and YOUR_SECRET_ADMIN.

Then you navigate to YOUR_SECRET_ADMIN where there are folders such as /backups, /images, and /includes... In this folder are files like whos_online.php. You added the first plugin file of backup_mysql.php, and dropped the includes folder into this admin folder? This will place the three other files into their applicable subdirectory.

Then you either navigated the admin, or you logged out and logged back in (cleared cache?) to check the tools sub-directory.

If that is the case, then the next question is how did you come to have ZC 1.5.4? Was it an upgrade? how was the upgrade performed? was it a fresh install? What was the source of the files? Are you getting any error logs in your logs directory? (the myDebug file may contain admin folder information, please do not include that folder name if posting the file contents to this site.) If posting code, please first select the # symbol in the messagebox toolbar and then paste the code so that it is wrapped with ```
[CODE] and [/CODE]

I am using "Backup ZC Version 1.1"

Yeah I thought throught this all it might have been a different plugin that offers database backup. Similar installation though I would suspect based on the list of files, looking at the list though there are some that begin with mysql_ my guess is that inside of those files are reference to the same function(s) and may need upgrading to work with ZC 1.5.3 and above.

I haven't used that plugin so I'm not sure what might be needed for it to work though it appears others have been able to install it without special action or code modification.
