Why can't I export my database

Could you try running through the report fault wizard? It should give more
info on the error.

Page: admin
Function:
Message: <errormsg>Unable to export database</errormsg>

<errortype>User Error</errortype>
<scriptname>C:\Program Files\XAMPP\htdocs\xibo\lib\pages\admin.class.php</scriptname>

You received this question notification because you asked the question.

Are you sure your library location is writeable and the mysqldump is
accessible and runnable from the command line / terminal?

To be completely honest, I'm not sure how to check that.

I'm guessing you have been able to upload media, etc? So you are likely to
have write permissions to your library.

Are you on windows or linux?

If windows, open a command prompt and type "mysqldump", what happens?

I am using XAMPP with windows. Using a regular cmd line, this comes up.

'mysqldump' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Using XAMPP Shell, I get this.

# mysqldump
Usage: mysqldump [OPTIONS] database [tables]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --databases [OPTIONS] DB1 [DB2 DB3...]
OR mysqldump [OPTIONS] --all-databases [OPTIONS]
For more options, use mysqldump --help

I believe it will only work if your MySQL installation directory is added
as a windows PATH environment variable. Some instructions on that here:
