mySQL dump path and MAMP

When moving this site, I used WordPress DBmanager plugin to back up my database. I had trouble finding the path to mySQL and the mysqldump.

The path to the “files” are as follows.

To mysqldump: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump
To mysql: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql

Hope it will help someone :)

    Didn’t realize DBManager was emailing me empty backup files all this time. Good thing I tried making a copy of my site before I actually needed the backup.

    Thanks for spelling out the proper paths for me ;-)
