When i try to do a backup DB i get this error: Warning: OpenDir: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /usr2/hsphere/home/sscentra/black.sscentral.com/admin/database.php on line 73 Database back up was successful. But it wasn't successful... Anyone know what i need to do to fix this? Thanks

Hmm, that shouldn't happen ... Please check that you even have a "backups" directory (it is in the tarball, but it is empty and sometimes isn't extracted or uploaded because of that) and that $_CONF['backup_path'] in config.php points to it. bye, Dirk

Can you also clarify which GL version you are using. This looks like it's an error message from the pre 1.3.6 version of GL. Blaine

This is why I was asking which GL version you are using. GL 1.3.6 has more error checking to catch these errors. In pre 1.3.6, if your path to mysqldump is incorrect, it was not reporting it. the dump was not executing and it was assumed to be sucessful. Check the setting for: $_DB_mysqldump_path in config.php Blaine

Yeah, 1.3.5 has very poor error handling for backups (this has been improved in 1.3.6). Make sure your backups directory is writeable - chmod it to 775 first and try 777 if that doesn't help. bye, Dirk

I found that having a $ in my database password was problematic. Fixed that, and my backups started working. -- PhoneBoy
