Title: WP-DBManager requesting Path for Dump Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # WP-DBManager requesting Path for Dump * [aerps](https://wordpress.org/support/users/aerps/) * (@aerps) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/) * I downloaded the WP-DBManager and installed it and it keeps asking me the following two paths: * I host my wordpress website with GoDaddy, how can I get these two paths. * Checking MYSQL Dump Path … MYSQL dump path does NOT exist. Please check your mysqldump path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator. * Checking MYSQL Path … MYSQL path does NOT exist. Please check your mysql path under DB Options.

I just ignored that error WP-DBManager worked * [Rami Yushuvaev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ramiy/) * (@ramiy) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/#post-1197213) * i have the same problem. in my case, when i ignored the probleb it didn’t ignored the error. * [Lester Chan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gamerz/) * (@gamerz) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/#post-1197214) * I recommend using an alternate plugin like [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/) if you got problems getting it to work. * [JupiterJim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jupiterjim/) * (@jupiterjim) * [16 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/#post-1197236) * I have **not **be able to get it to work on Godaddy account and I have wasted lots of time with customer support and by myself trying to get the darn plugin to work. * People that say “ignore the problem” or “I got it to work on Godaddy.com” make me ask ONE QUESTION: “Have you ever RESTORED YOUR BLOG ON GODADDY USING THIS PLUGIN?” * I say that because I can get to to “successfully save a backup” of my blog. When I try to “**restore**” my blog from that backup file, Nothing but error and failure! * The only way I can get it to save a backup is if I click the “**Gzip**” option. And after it does save the backup .sql file, I **cannot **restore the blog with that file or any file generated by this plugin anyway. * ***** PLease note that this backup plugin **works like a charm** on my blogs or clients’ blogs hosted on hostmonster.com and bluehost.com * The reason I don’t want to use the other backup that GamerZ (GamerZ created WP- DBManager BTW!) is recommending is because I was told by someone that really knows that the other program will only backup posts and pages but not images ( and sidebars, I think). Plus I don’t think the restore process is so easy. I need something easy for my clients. * I need to get this one to work is because with WP-DBManager my clients can save their own ASS all by themselves completely without calling me in a panic! Plus WP-DBManager is so highly recommended all over the place! * I just don’t want to give up yet. If anyone has any updated information on the correct MySQL paths for this plugin on **GODADDY.com,** please post or let me know at * > **[http://www.jupiterjimsmarketingteam.com/](http://www.jupiterjimsmarketingteam.com/)** * Thanks so much! * Sincerely, * Jupiter Jim * [geggiot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geggiot/) * (@geggiot) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/#post-1197239) * it’s works try * ``` Path To mysqldump: /usr/bin/mysqldump Path To mysql: /usr/bin/mysql ``` * and Gzip Off-No * [fritzcm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fritzcm/) * (@fritzcm) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/#post-1197243) * Hi, I also get the exact error about the paths. I’m hosted with Hawk Host and in my open_basedir it doesn’t include mysql. But when I click on “Backup”, it generates a backup sql file. I’m just not sure if it was able to backup everything in my wordpress DB. * The end of file says, “– Dump completed on 2010-06-20 15:28:00” * I’m just thinking it might just be a path checking error or what. * [coudynews](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coudynews/) * (@coudynews) * [15 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/#post-1197244) * excellent info. geggiot! * thx, worked like a charm on godaddy hosting. * Checking Backup Folder (/home/content/**/**/html/wp-content/backup-db) … Backup folder exists Backup folder is writable * Checking MYSQL Dump Path (/usr/bin/mysqldump) … MYSQL dump path exists. * Checking MYSQL Path (/usr/bin/mysql) … MYSQL path exists. * Checking PHP Functions (passthru(), system() and exec()) … passthru() enabled. system() enabled. exec() enabled. * Excellent. You Are Good To Go. * [Fatbat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/fatbat/) * (@fatbat) * [15 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-dbmanager-requesting-path-for-dump/#post-1197246) * Lester, instead of helping or fixing the problem, tell them to use a different plugin? Seriously? Great support there bud! * I too have the same issue: * Checking MYSQL Dump Path … MYSQL dump path does NOT exist. Please check your mysqldump path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator. * Checking MYSQL Path … MYSQL path does NOT exist. Please check your mysql path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator. * The backups state they are being done successfully, however, they do not contain all of the posts that exist on the site, only a portion of one of them. * Any ideas?
