After starting the backup process I get an error message:

Hi Karl,

That error is because the mysqldump command didn't generate the db.sql file. Can you check if a file exists at 'tmp/db.sql'?

Hi Ignacio,

No, this file isn't there.

If you have access to a command line in your server please try executing the command manually to see what it prints. The commands would be:
Code: [Select]
cd (opengoo path)
mysqldump --host=(host) --user=(user) --password=(password) (database) > tmp/db.sql

The values for (host), (user), (password) and (database) are the ones in your config/config.php. Replace (opengoo path) for the path to your OpenGoo installation.

The command does not print anything, it just runs without error. The file db.sql has been generated in /tmp.

1.3.1 final: This is still an issue with my installation.

Any ideas?

We've never been able to get backup working. We get:

Error
Error while creating database backup: Backup command failed. Check MYSQLDUMP_COMMAND constant.

Did anyone get any further with this?

Check php.ini if exec is not disabled in the disable_functions directive and that you have mysqldump with your installation of MySQL.

exec was disabled. mysqldump is already working -- see posting above.

I enabled exec now but it does not help. I still get this error.
