I've been using XCloner to back up my client's website and it works nicely, but it complains that something is wrong with my MySQLDump path. I have checked and it appears to be correct:
/opt/bitnami/mysql/bin/mysqldump
I am using AWS with a m1.small reserved instance with manually installed but up-to-date Joomla (2.5.11) and the Bitnami LAMP stack. Joomla is installed in /opt/bitnami/apache2/htdocs.
I noticed that XCloner says that:
"If [using MySQLDump is] set to Active, you will be required to have on your server support for zip or tar and/or mysqldump commands and specify their paths, and also exec() access in your php."
No doubt the LAMP stack has ZIP support, that's how I upload my Joomla extensions. It's the exec() suppport I'm not clear on: can anyone explain? I need to include my client's database in the nightly backups.
Thanks,
Toolie
