Thank you for that link -- I installed through softalicious (which the documentation mentions at the end) and yet I am encountering this error. Where can I go (in PHPmyAdmin?) to change the setting that might be causing the issue? In my file directory, the folder that you mention looks like this and it appears that the permissions are correct...? (See right-hand side of screenshot.) Thanks again!

I repeatedly receive the error message, "Error: Can't create sql dump of database during backup" when I try to upgrade my shopping cart to 1.1.8, either through the package installer or through extension upload. I only created the cart recently and it was set up with version 1.1.7. I don't know what to do at this point! I've read through the forums and support documentation but nothing answers my question. Do you know how to fix this? Could it be it a problem with my softalicious installation? Does something need to be changed in the setup?
