This is the error message i get. Do not know if it is different from the otrhers reported here, so I report it separately:

System program "mysqldump" not found in $PATH. Please check with your sysadmin for further assistance.

Debugging info:
system path:
/bin: /sbin: /usr/bin: /usr/sbin: /usr/local/bin: /usr/local/sbin

Programs that will be used:
* mysqldump program NOT found or executable
* tar program NOT found or executable
* gzip program NOT found or executable

All this happens on a Linux host.

Any syggestions? Many thanks in advance,

TR

You'll need to mention this to your webhost. Please send them the same text that you sent me, including the names of the programs (tar, gzip, and mysqldump), and the path.

My best guess is that they're doing something unusual with their setup, since tar and gzip are normally found in the /bin directory.

Hope this helps,

I get the same problem on my server. I've done some tests and found that is_file is returning false when it should be returning true.

I'm the admin for the server so I know the files are there and exist but is_file still says they don't. is_dir also says that / is not a directory but /tmp is so my guess is that it is something to do with safe mode type stuff in php, you can use it to lock php down to which directories it is allowed to access.
