I am getting an error with the Wordpress WP-DBManager Plugin:

MYSQL dump path does NOT exist. Please check your mysqldump path under DB Options. 
If uncertain, contact your server administrator.

MYSQL path does NOT exist. Please check your mysql path under DB Options. 
If uncertain, contact your server administrator.

IT Server administrator doesn't know what to do. So I have referred to this article.

I am running AWS, Ubuntu LAMP stack - mysql 5.6, php7.0

I have checked /usr/bin and no mysqldump or mysql folder.

In the php.ini file there is this line ;open_basedir =

Do I create mysqldump and mysql folders? And set open_basedir to open_basedir = /usr/bin/?

Or based on that article there were modules to add - <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>. I could not find the httpd.conf file. Where would I find this file? Or do I create the file?

mysql - the MySQL command-line tool is a simple SQL shell with input line editing capabilities. It supports interactive and noninteractive use.

mysqldump - is a command-line client program, it is used to dump local or remote MySQL database or collection of databases for backup into a single flat file.

They can be found in several packages. For example in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS both are part of the package mysql-client:

sudo apt install mysql-client

mysql-client is metapackage depending on the latest version. While mysql-client-5.x consists of binaries of exact version 5.x.

Please note that mysql and mysqld are different 'things'!

mysqld, also known as MySQL Server - is the main program that does most of the work in a MySQL installation.
