I am getting the following error when I try to do a DB backup: ERROR: Directory /var/www/html/geeklog/backups/ is not accessible. Everything else looks like it is working. What should the access rights be set to.?

Thanks.

The directory needs to to have write (and execute in some *nix cases) permission so that a new file can be created inside of it. Accordingly doing a chmod 766 (or 777) for the directory (not the files within) should be the solution.

i.e.
chmod 766 /var/www/html/geeklog/backups
OR (if above does not work)
chmod 777 /var/www/html/geeklog/backups

Cheers!
