DB Backup

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 Crogram 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) ...

I see Dirk,
I'm running it on Windows XP, I don't have alot of MySQL/Apache knowledge so could you explain how to go about fixing this problem please?
Thanks in advance
