so i tried to backup my db today and i get this error:
There was an error.
Incorrect path or mysqldump utility not executable.
Check $_DB_mysqldump_path definition in config.php.
Variable currently defined as: /usr/bin/mysqldump
I have 3 other backups and now its not working for some odd reason... I know nothing about mySql.. i had my freind help me set it up and he's gone now so i have no clue what to do

For backups, Geeklog uses a program called mysqldump, which is usually part of a MySQL install. And to be able to call that programm, Geeklog needs to know where it is.
Obviously, in your case, it isn't in /usr/bin/mysqldump. So you have to ask your hosting service where it resides and then change the variable in config.php accordingly.
