No backups are sent by email no more. * Do you plan to fix this in a coming version? If so when will a new version come? * Thanks. * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dbmanager/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-dbmanager/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 44 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321244) * There is nothing wrong with the current version, it works fine with WP2.9. * Thread Starter [Granit](https://wordpress.org/support/users/granit/) * (@granit) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321276) * How come i no longer getting any emails? * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321310) * I have no idea, cron timeout?

Is a fix likely and imminent? * Thank you. * [mrmist](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mrmist/) * (@mrmist) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321437) * The ticket relates to failures of the cron system, so I’d guess so. * It has a committed fix, which means that the fix should appear in the next WordPress release, whenever that is. * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321446) * bobjones: mrmist is right, there is a problem with the CRON in WP2.9, it has something to do with the CURL timeout as mentioned in the trac. WP2.9.1 should fix this issue. * Having said that, I think it only affects some servers as it works fine for my end. * [Amit Gupta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amit/) * (@amit) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321473) * Err… even manual backups are not working on 1 of my blogs which I upgraded to v2.9 couple of days back. 🙁 When I try to backup db using the manual option, I get following PHP warnings & it doesn’t backup anything: * ``` Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for /home/userx/public_html/databasebackup/1262142716_-_userx_wrddb1.sql.gz in /home/userx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/database-backup.php on line 57 Warning: unlink(/home/userx/public_html/databasebackup/1262142716_-_userx_wrddb1.sql.gz) [function.unlink]: No such file or directory in /home/userx/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/database-backup.php on line 58 ``` * In the function checks, all is green & it says – Excellent. You Are Good To Go. * What can be the issue here? My other blogs which are still running v2.8.6 on the same server don’t have any such issues & (automatic & manual) backup is working fine on them & I get the backup emails everyday. Only this blog which I upgraded to v2.9 stopped getting backed up after the upgrade. * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321479) * amit: Try the debugging method here -> [http://forums.lesterchan.net/index.php/topic,1534.msg15907.html#msg15907](http://forums.lesterchan.net/index.php/topic,1534.msg15907.html#msg15907) * [Amit Gupta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amit/) * (@amit) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321487) * [@gamerz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * The check_backup_files() function isn’t there in database-backup.php!! I echoed out the command after execute_backup() function & here’s what I get: * `/usr/bin/mysqldump --host="localhost" --user="dbuser" --password="dbpwrd" -- add-drop-table --skip-lock-tables userx_wrddb1 | gzip > /home/userx/public_html/ databasebackup/1262281649_-_userx_wrddb1.sql.gz` * [Choto Cheeta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/choto-cheeta/) * (@choto-cheeta) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321488) * Me too facing the same issue 🙁 * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321490) * Amit: run that code in SSH of your host. If you no idea what that is contact your host * [Amit Gupta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/amit/) * (@amit) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321500) * [@gamerz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) I’ve a cron running DB backups using that command & its working perfectly. Like I said earlier, I’ve other wordpress blogs (v2.8.6) running same plugin version on same server & mysql& they’re all working fine & the plugin is making regular backups. Its just this 1 blog which I upgraded to v2.9 & after that the plugin stopped making backups& started giving these errors! 🙁 * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-dbmanager-does-not-work-after-wordpress-29/#post-1321502) * As mentioned earlier in the thread, this is a problem with cron with WP 2.9. That is why I asked you to run that SSH command in your shell to see if it works. If it works, most likely it that WP issue, if not then if maybe a plugin issue.
