database not saved in backup?

[Nuno Zimas]

I've just noticed that the database is apparently missing in the backup file.
Where is the db.sql file supposed to be within the zip?

It's supposed to be in the root of the zip file.

[Nuno Zimas]

It's not, though.
Any parameter missing from config.php, perhaps? MYSQLDUMP_COMMAND?

[ignacio]

If you don't explicitly set the MYSQLDUMP_COMMAND constant, it is set to 'mysqldump'. You can try typing that command on a terminal to see if it is installed and accessible by that command. If not you should define the constant in 'config/config.php' giving the full path to the mysqldump command. It should be placed on the same folder as the 'mysql' command.

i'm not getting the db.sql file either

[Nuno Zimas]

mysqldump is in /usr/bin (accessible system wide), therefore it should not require any constant to be defined in the oGoo conf file.

It worked for me in the 1.4.2, and it's working now in the 1.5 at the same hosting. Any changes in your server? Can you check your hosting error log for related issues?

[tamalita]

sorry for taking so long to get back ... had other things going on ... anyway, I have looked through old archives and don't find the database backed up in any of them. there are no errors related to OG in my hosting error log.
