When i log in and click on the DB Backup to do a MySQL Dump I always the following error... There was an error. Backup Failed: Filesize was 0 bytes My path to mysqldump.exe is CRazzrogram FilesMySQLbin and I have it setup in my config.php like this... $_DB_mysqldump_path = 'C:/Program Files/MySQL/bin'; $_CONF['allow_mysqldump'] = 1; What could be wrong? Thanks Jay

It may be a permissions issue. When you do a backup from within Geeklog, then Geeklog (and thus, effectively, the webserver) is trying to run mysqldump - and it may not have the permissions to do so. At least that is my current theory for this issue (that others have reported, too) ... bye, Dirk
