• Hi Guys!

    I’m currently using WordPress 2.3 and I’m having a weird problem with a plugin called “WP-DBManager” version 2.20.

    Well I setup the automatic backup option on this plugin so it can send me the backup file every week to my e-mail address, it was working fine for the last 8 weeks but now it doesn’t seems to be working.

    I was suppose to have a backup send to my e-mail on October 14 but seem I didn’t receive anything I went to my blog (October 16) and made a backup manually but now when I go to:

    WordPress CP => Data base => DB Options I see this:

    Next backup date: October 16, 2007 @ 3:37 pm

    This is weird because my next backup is suppose to be on October 22 and not today (this is how it was working before). I tried deactivating the plugin and uninstalling it too but nothing works…

    I don’t know what else can I do any ideas?

  • If you go to DB Options and click on “Update Options” it will be based on todays date, the first backup will be today and then the next backup will then be the interval specified.

    Thank you for your reply…

    Yes, I tried that but the thing is that it never backups my data base, it didn’t send me nothing to my e-mail today.

    check your Manage Backup to see if the file is created or not. If it is created, try checking your server email log.

    Hi!

    The file has not been create… this is a great plugin but this is the first time I have some problem with it.

    I don’t know what else can I do… in the “manage backup” section I have the same file I created manually.

    If I hit the “update” button it will say:

    Next backup date: [Same day as hit the button], 2007 @ [same time as I hit the button]

    I also found a misspelled word in this plugin.

    If I hit the “update” button it will say:

    Next backup date: [Same day as hit the button], 2007 @ [same time as I hit the button]

    yes, then once the backup is runned, it will be the next interval. I will test on my site to see if it is bug

    I think your host has put some deny information to your .htaccess as that is happening to me and hence it is not working. I remove those deny statement and it works fine.

    I think you are right…. my host just upgraded from MYSQL 4.x to MYSQL 5.x so there must be some changes to the data base…

    Do you think this has to do with the plugin? probably the plugin is not complete ready for MYSQL 5?

    Or what can I tell my host about this? I didn’t understand that much about .htaccess file.

    Nope, this plugin was created based on MYSQL 5.0.x actually. Open up your htaccess with your notepad to see if there is anything that says “deny”

    I have a problem with this plug in. I have copied to my content/plugin folder – but the option for activating it isn’t available in the plugin page.

    I’m using WP 2.3

    No problem – sorted it now.

    Ok I found the .htaccess file inside:

    /mydomain.com/wp-content/backup-db/

    The content of the .htaccess file is:

    <Files ~ “.*\..*”>
    order allow,deny
    deny from all
    </Files>

    Should I change something here?

    Any idea of what can I change here?

    hmm that is ok, what about your root wordpress folder?

    My .htaccess file in my root folder is:

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    Any idea of what the problem could be?

    Hi Gamerz!

    I tried too many things and I can’t get this plugin to work…

    I tried to install this plugin in a nice and clean install of WordPress in a different Host and now I see a different error:

    Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.

    That’s the error I get everytime I tried to activate the plugin in another hosting.

    Also… I believe the problem with the plugin in my host is the time or somethig like that, since everytime I hit “update options” I see my local time and date…
