I'm using the WP-DBmanager plugin for WordPress to back up the MySQL database. The plugin keeps telling me it needs the paths to MySQL dump and MySQL itself. Attached is a screen capture if you need more info. Thanks for any advice. (Be gentle with me, it's my first post in these forums.)

It should be /usr/bin.

Side note you shouldn't have you backups placed under /public_html anyone can download that file.

Thanks, Dan -- that did the trick. And thanks for the advice. WordPress claims to have solved the problem by having us move .htaccess to a new directory. But I like your idea better. I'll try moving the backup directories next week. - Tony
