Mysqldumper, perl and cron

[knucklenitz]

Hi -

I'm sure this is a mysqldumper issue but I don't speak German. Maybe someone here uses this and has gotten it to work?

I have tried using setting up the cron backup in both VB scheduled task and on my host server. Both fail. It also fails when running in the mysqldumper interface screen but will run in php. I have mysqldumper installed in my public_html folder and have tried with .htaccess restriction and without.

Any ideas on what could be the error?

The help file makes it sound like this script needs to be in the forums directory? VB also cuts the path down as you can see.

Here is the VB error I get when trying to run the cron:

Warning: include_once([path]/perl /home/mysite/public_html/msd1.24/msd_cron/c) []: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 113

Warning: include_once() []: Failed opening '[path]/perl /home/mysite/public_html/msd1.24/msd_cron/c' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 113

I set it up as a cron job using the perl script through my host and it works. Mysqldumper doesn't have a provision for email authentication so it won't send the database. I'm ok with that for now.

I can't get the FTP to work either. The support forum isn't so hot for me so I can't find much on it. I confirmed with my host that they shouldn't be blocking anything. I use Filezilla to connect to the FTP that I am setting up in Mysqldumper so I know it works but when I go to 'test connection', it says connection not possible.

This is the only thing I can find. It's from an error log on the server:

<!--StartFragment-->[13-Aug-2009 23:10:04] PHP Warning: ftp_pasv() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/mysite/public_html/msd1.24/inc/functions_dump.php on line 514

Anyone have any ideas?
