    Error Log entry (censored)

    [Tue May 05 14:00:51 2015] [error] [client 130.111.84.87] PHP Warning: passthru(): Unable to fork [/usr/bin/mysqldump –force –host=’localhost’ –user=’user’ \n–password=’password’ –default-character-set=”utf8″ –add-drop-table –skip-lock-tables database > /home/user/backup-db/1430820051_-_site.sql] in /home/user/www/site.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-dbmanager/wp-dbmanager.php on line 251, referer: https://www.site.com/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp-dbmanager%2Fdatabase-backup.php

    Command in the log runs fine from the command line, and successfully creates the dump file.

    memory_limit set to 500M

    Brand new site with little content.

    Are there certain php.ini and apache config directives required that I may be overlooking?

    Hmm, I have not come across this issue before on Ubuntu and Centos, have you tried Googling for solution like “passthru unable to fork” ?

    Yeah.. I wouldn’t be bothering you about it otherwise. ??

    Strangely the automated backup works fine. I just got the mailed copy this morning.

    It’s just when I do a manual backup.

    ….which I guess is fine in this case. No worries.
