Can't Create Database Backup

I get this message in the admin:

Incorrect path or mysqldump utility not executable.
Check $_DB_mysqldump_path definition in config.php.
Variable currently defined as: /usr/bin/mysqldump

I use powweb.com with mysql.

I have no real knowledge of coding at all. So, if someone can tell me what I need to do this in the simplest (re: retarded) way possible that'd be awesome.

Is there something I can do outside of geeklog, perhaps something in the mysql panel on my website?

The error message pretty much sums it up. Or read destr0yer's post over here.

Summary: Make sure that the path to the mysqldump utility is correct and that you have the permissions to run it.

bye, Dirk
