Installation: - upload all files to your webspace - make on file "config.php" chmod 777 - start the script in your browser (http://www.deineDomain.de/mysqldumper/) - Follow the Installationscript - in step 2 (Configuration) change Data (Host, Name, Password) of your databaseconnection and save (all other parameters you can change online) - in case of safe_mode=1 you must create the folders manually. create following folders in the Scriptdir: - work - work/backup - work/config - work/structure - work/log and make chmod 777 on all folders - Ready ! Guidance for the Perl script: Most have a cgi-bin directory, in which Perl can be executed. This is usually by Browser over http://www.domain.de/cgi-bin/ available. Make the following steps for this case please. 1. Call in MySQLDumper the page Backup 2. Copy the path, that stands behind entry in crondump.pl for $absolute_path_of_configdir: 3. open the file "crondump.pl" in the editor 4. paste the copied path there with absolute_path_of_configdir (no blanks) 5. Save crondump.pl 6. copy crondump.pl, as well as perltest.pl and simpletest.pl to the cgi-bin directory (ASCII mode in the ftp-client!) 7. chmod 755 to the scripts. 7b. If the ending cgi is desired, change the ending of all 3 files pl - > cgi (rename) 8. Call in the MySQLDumper the page Configuration 9. click on Cronscript 10. changes Perl execution path to /cgi-bin/ 10b. if the Scripts are renamed to *.cgi , change Fileextension to cgi 11 save the Configuration Ready ! The scripts are available from the Page "Backup" When you can execute Perl anywhere, only following step are needed: 1. Call in MySQLDumper the page Backup. 2. Copy the path, that stands behind entry in crondump.pl for $absolute_path_of_configdir: 3. open the file "crondump.pl" in the editor 4. paste the copied path there with absolute_path_of_configdir (no blanks) 5. Save crondump.pl 6. chmod 755 to the scripts. 6b. If the ending cgi is desired, change the ending of all 3 files pl - > cgi (rename) (ev. 10b+11 from above) Windowsuser must change the first line of all Perlscripts, to the path of Perl. Example: instead of: #!/usr/bin/perl w now #!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe w
