I've been working on my site, and got everything going well.
My only problem is getting the DB Backup to work. When I try to do a DB Backup, all i get is an empty screen (complete with top and left side wrap-arounds.)
Thanks in advance for your help.
My site resides
here[*1] .

Hmm, that's strange. If something goes wrong, it should at least display an error messages and present a list of the old backups (or say that there aren't any).
Did you check Geeklog's error.log file for any messages referring to backup? Can you call up mysqldump manually (if you have telnet/ssh access to your server)?
bye, Dirk

That error seems to be caused by some addon that you installed on your site (Menu plugin?) and shouldn't have anything to do with your original problem.

hmm, you you were right.
I'm stuck then.
I'm running Windows 2000.
I've verified all the paths in the config files.
This used to work before I upgraded from 1.3.6 to 1.3.7.

The code for the database backup hasn't changed in 1.3.7 ...
Did you try doing a backup by calling mysqldump from the command line or can you not do that where you're hosted?

like i said, I'm hosting my own site... running win2000 pro - apache.
I tried using phpmyadmin to do a dump. i'm not sure if it uses the mysqldump.exe binary to do that. but i've managed to do that successfully.
if you'd like root access to the site to do some debugging, you're welcome to do so. just let me know

never mind to this... it turns out, that the new version of php doesn't like it.
