currently switch the cpanel theme to xskin from cpskin... and then commited the changes to the crontab--i'll check again tomorrow morning. this might be a bug (maybe?) ...cause when i commit change on the cpskin-crontab, its doesn't say anything but "crontab >" ...and a link to go back...my signature was deleted. i miss my signature-filled-with-helpful-dathorn-links *sniff*sniff* -
still no go =(
can someone try this script on theirs (i.e. /home/username/backups/automysqlbackup.sh) to see if its my end ...
file attached. just rename the extension from .txt to .sh, and just setup a cron like the one posted above--set the time to whatever is reasonable to test it. TIA.
note: weird thing is...another cpanel account of mine has it working w/ the "/backups" folder as a sub-folder under "/public_html"--which i dont want to do with the other sites since its more of a security issue...my signature was deleted. i miss my signature-filled-with-helpful-dathorn-links *sniff*sniff*Comment

weird O_o
now, after upgrading to 1.6, seems that its working--very weird though...
AutoMySQLBackup VER 1.6
http://sourceforge.net/projects/automysqlbackup/
new features:
-ability to backup "all" your dbs, and exlude ones you dont want it to do
-pre and post backup operations that you can have it do (i.e. you can probably write/run a script to ftp to a remote server... so if you know how to do this, please do and post here ^^ )
...problem resolved (till further notice ^^ )my signature was deleted. i miss my signature-filled-with-helpful-dathorn-links *sniff*sniff*Comment

BASH scripts always have to be uploaded in text (ASCII) mode. If it was named filename.sh before you uploaded it, your ftp client may have sent it in binary mode. If it was filename.txt when you uploaded it, and then after uploading, you renamed it to filename.sh, then your ftp client should have correctly sent it in text mode. Perhaps this was a factor for you(?)
