An Easy Way For Backups For None Techy People.
After reading of Peggy`s problem in another thread I decided to try and write this guide, it will be a work in progress as I doubt I have the time to complete it in one go or I might not have enough allowences for uploading all the graphics needed.
The script I am going to guide you through is called MySQLDumper , latest stable version is v1.24 and it has multiple language support.
You can download the latest stable version from here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysqldumper/files/
A good tip after downloading the archive and extracting to a folder on your PC is to simply remove the language files you do not require by navigating to the language folder and removing all extras,me being English I only leave the /en/ folder and the lang_list.php file.
Now you are ready to upload by FTP to your server.
Navigate to your public_html folder , create a new folder with any name you want ie; 123dump, open that folder and upload the contents of the folder you extracted, by default it will be called msd1.24stable. So you should be uploading 8 folders & 13 files only. ( The contents of msd1.24stable)
When all files are uploaded you need to CHMOD the config.php file to 0777.
You should also create a new folder called work and inside that folder create 3 new folders called backup,config & log. Now CHMOD those 4 folders permissions to 0777 also.
You need your database username & password at hand to continue...
Your ready to install the script...
Navigate to the folder on your server that you gave a unique name , 123dump.
http://yourdomain.com/123dump/
You should be greeted with this screen below:
If you deleted all other language files only English will show..
Select Installation.
Here you need only enter your database username & password, as below pic shows..
After selecting Connect to MySQL you will be greeted by the following screen.
Click, Save & Continue installation..
Where you will be greeted by the following screen..
This screen is the completion of the basic install of the script...
More to follow below...
Regards
