error in a php, mysql script

[stelthius]

Hi guys,

 

just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this little problem im having,

 

i get this error on a MySQL backup script

 

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/panel/modules/mysql/backup.php on line 24

Database Backup

 

 

Here is lines 20 - 30 from that page

 

 

$path = $row_User['homedir'] . '/_Backups/';

 

if (!is_dir($path))

{

mkdir($path, 0777);   <- This is line 24

}

 

echo "<b>Database Backup</b><br>";

 

$database = $db_name;

$counter = 0;

 

Any help or ideas is welcome guys,

Try using the absolute path for your directory locations.

 

Example

$path = '/var/www/html/panel/modules/mysql/'.$row_User['homedir'].'/_Backups';

 

Also when working with directories leave out the last slash

Thanks for the reply, but i tried it and it didnt work, its confusing me now because it will let a admin account make a backup but not a user account, but both the user and admin files have the same perms, so im lost here lol

try using 775 not 777. Some hosts won't allow 777.
