Errors about DB and memory after the upgrade

Hi giorgosnl, have you tried to split up your backup into separate jobs? Like 1. /wp-content/ without /uploads/, 2. /uploads/ on its own, 3. the database.

Thanks Caspar, At the moment I stick to the working 2.1.17 version till I sort out the mysql error below. The memory issue was due to trying to backup a directory with gigs of its own backwpup backup files.

Indeed I have changed my database name lately but that doesn’t seem to bother the 2.1.17 release as it works fine. 3.0.3 must check something differently and obviously doesn’t like it.

what did you enterd in wp-config by define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘???’); ?

define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘mysql.mydomainname.net’);

hmmm, that looks good.

The massage means that he connaction to datbase can’t done. Is ther a limit of mysql Connection from a PHP script?

I have also changed some little connection seetins with the next release.

No that I know. I will retry again on a test site and let you know. Thanks for checking.
