Wordpress backup not working (Datablase backup script)

[Danielx386]

Hello,

Corey just fixed up my Database connection, and set it to localhost. Now it all work fine now, however my backup script that was working yesterday is not working.

I get this error msg: "
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.
Checking PHP Functions (passthru(), system() and exec()) ...
passthru() disabled.
system() disabled.
exec() disabled.
I'm sorry, your server administrator has disabled passthru(), system() and exec(), thus you cannot use this backup script. You may consider using the default WordPress database backup script instead."


Can someone please tell me what wrong?
Thanks

I did, but, what the message above is saying that (passthru(), system() and exec() is disabled. Also I can't get the path to anything because that is grayed out

well if that is disabled, then there is nothing much I can do, other than get an admin to see this. they might have a valid reason to disable it, or it got disabled in the middle of them working on something

either way, I escalated it to a ticket so that an admin will see it sooner.
