backups directory?

[PHPMagic]

When I went to the admin panel and tools section I got the message at the top that the backups directory doesn't exist. I created the backups directory in the admin directory and changed its permissions to 777. I still got the same message. Also in the warning at the top it says to change the configure.php file. Is that in the includes/configure.php or admin/includes/configure.php? I guess it would be the second, right, since it has backups/ near the bottom? I tried adding /admin/backups/ and admin/backups/ to admin/includes/configure.php and neither worked. And the url of the backups directory in the admin panel under tools looks funny. How do I fix this problem?

add a / at the front of your backups setting in the configure.php file

for changing the configure.php usually the one in the catalog/includes/configure.php needs setting to 644

I changed the configure chmod for catalog/includes/configure.php to 644, didn't help.

And my admin/includes/configure.php is the only conf file out of the two that has the area at the bottom that says 'backups/'.

catalog/includes/configure.php doesn't have a place that says 'backups'.

 

The path looks right under the tools section of the admin panel, example: /home/myaccount/public_html/admin/backups/

 

but if I add the slash at the beginning like '/backups/' then the path changes to /home/myaccount/public_html/admin//backups/ <notice the extra slash before backups?

 

I tried chmodding both configure.php files to 644 and that didn't work either.
