Backup MYSQL Plugin - no backup button

Hi
still around with this problem. Following the advise of TheOracle I wrote to the people of my client's server and they answered that they aren't going to change anything for "security reasons" !!!
That means that SAFE_MODE will remain set to ON in both Local and Master Value and so no backups button.
Now if someone of you can please me explain what are these "security reasons" or what they supposed to be.
My client's server is a low-cost server.
That means that all the no low-cost servers are crazy to risk something in terms of security?
Is it all a matter of money?

Thank you and excuse me for my english.

Right click on the folder and files and select "file attributes" and set to 777.

Update to my earlier post: my client's host don't want to turn to OFF the Local and Master Value of the Safe_Mode !! Another way to go around the problem? He got to live without the backup button?

ready! My folder was in 755 and now is 777.
Now what?
thanks

thank you marcap!

You are welcome.
Look in Admin>>Tools>>Database Backup - MySQL
It suppose to be there. There are others files that need to be 777 but I don't remermber them all, if I am not wrong all the files concerning the backup.
In plus check in Admin>>Tools>Server Info: the SAFE_MODE as to be OFF in both LOCAL VALUE and MASTER VALUE.
If it is not ask to your host to set them OFF (hoping that he want to do it, not like my client's host that refuse to do it so my client will live without that button and backup from myPHPAdmin) :shocking:

Edit: is there someone that can write down a list of all backup files that needed to be 777? Thank you

Thank you Marcap but I can't find my backup button, take a look in my tools:

Safe_mode is off in local and master value.

Strange u don't have DataBase Backup- mySQL

It suppose to be after Install SQL patches (mine is there). Clikking on it u reach a page where the button is.

My client's server really seems that he doesn't want to swicth to OFF mode so no button but I have that Database Backup - mySQL that u don't have.

Maybe because there are other files to be set 777. Did u 777 all the files concerning the backups?

yes.... I turn my atributes to 777... but I don't know...

Strange very strange !!! I did a fresh new installation of Zen Cart and I was in the same situation as you !!! In plus I had not any (!!!) backup files in Zen Cart. Strange very strange.
