Hi,

There is no backup-button or backup-link in 'Tools > Database Backup - Mysql'

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

If you do not have the directory:
/admin/backups

set to 777 the button will not show ... :smile:

Recheck that the directory is really set to 777 as there are some hosting sites that block that setting in FTP ...

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

Is safe mode on or off on your server?

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

I am having the same problems. How do I check to see if it is in safe mode?

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

Go to the Admin ... Tools ... Server Info ...

Do a search for:
safe_mode

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

It's OFF for me, so I have to ask my hostprovider to set it to ON?

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

Thanks for the update that safe mode ON issue was causing the problems with the missing button on the Backup MySQL add-on ... :smile:

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

My safe_mode is set to off, but the backup button is still not showing up. Is there another way to back up the data?

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

New issue to Backup MYSQL Plugin:

I've installed Zen-Cart with Backup MYSQL Plugin on a other server (Suse 9.3).

admin/backups = chmod 777
save_mode = Off (local) seen by Utils/Server info

There's no backup-button though. :down:

Hi BekahRuth.

What do you see at Utils/Server info 'safe_mode' at the master value?

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

SOLVED!!!:P

Both the LOCAL VALUE and MASTER VALUE of Safe_Mode has to be 'OFF'.

Only LOCAL VALUE: 'off' didn't work.

I've root-access to the server so I can change this in etc/php.ini >>> Safe_Mode = OFF
The path to php.ini you can find with Utils/Serf Info 'Configuration File (php.ini) Path'.

If you don't have accsess to server you have to ask your hoster to change it.

Hi,
I just moved a client site from my server to his server and now I don't have anymore the backups button.
Admin/backups is set to 777 (100% sure, checked 3 times !!!!)
I followed your tip (see the quote above) and that is what I get: and now what I do? very new in all this.
Thank you

Re: Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

and now what I do?

Simple. Send two critical notes to your web hosting service requesting an upgrade of your PHP version and mySQL version. Both are very old. It is highly possible that you might be encountering these issues for those particular reasons.
