I keep getting this when i try to back up
Backup Failed: Filesize was 0 bytes

I have the same problem. Don't know if it has anything to do with site being on one box and MySQL being on a different box. mysqldump works fine from the shell after ssh to host.

Please review this article from a few days ago here and let us know what version of GL you are using.

Hello,
Using GL 1.3.6 final, site is hosted on a RH 7.x
server, with PHP 4.2.2,(I believe). Location of
files is /home/sugargrove/www, with "www" being a
link to /www/sugargrove/ . When I log into my
shell account via ssh and run the same mysqldump
command that GL uses, it works fine.

The MySQL server is a seperate dedicated DB box.

I don't have access to the syslogs since it's not
under my control.

Everything works fine on my RH 7.3 box with all
components running on the same machine.

I hadn't planned on bringing it up until I'd done
more looking into the configs, but I saw somebody
else had the same problem.

Thanks,
Chuck

My hosting company runs PHP as a CGI binary and compiled with it with safe mode = on. Turned it off with local php.ini and it works.
