webmac Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I'm new to OS and I activated osCommerce within my hosting control panel. Everything went ok, I set up the database, though, I am not familiar with mySQL, but all messages said all was installed OK. I was able to add and edit a couple of entries. Then I went to "back up" the database to install a shipping module and got this error: Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php. I looked at the configure.php file, but I have no clue as to what to edit. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Thanks, Webmac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'backups/'); and admin/backups directory should exist and be writeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
