Guidance for the Perl script:
When you can execute Perl anywhere:
1. In
MySQLDumper switch to 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 to the $absolute_path_of_configdir-variable (no blanks,no new line)
5. Save crondump.pl
6. chmod the scripts to 0755.
7. If the ending .cgi is desired, change the ending of all 3 files from .pl to .cgi (rename)
8. If the Scripts are renamed to *.cgi , change Fileextension to cgi in the
MySQLDumper Configuration (cronscript)
Done.
--------------------------------------
When perl is only allowed in cgi-bin:
Many user have a cgi-bin directory, in which Perl can be executed.
This is usually available via Browser
http://www.domain.com/cgi-bin/ .
In this casse do the following steps:
1. in
MySQLDumper call the page Backup and click "Backup Perl".
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, no new line)
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 the scripts to 0755.
7b. If the ending cgi is desired, change the ending of all 3 files .pl to .cgi (rename)
8. in
MySQLDumper switch to the page Configuration
9. click on Cronscript
10. change the Perl execution path to /cgi-bin/ or ./../cgi-bin (depending on your file-structure. Path is relative from
MSD-Dir)
10b. if the Scripts are renamed to *.cgi , change Fileextension to cgi
11 save the Configuration
-------------------------------------
Ready ! The scripts are now available from the Page "Backup".
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
