Backup MySQL Database

[swguy]

Have you looked at the file you are importing and confirmed it contains what you think it does? (i.e. that it actually is a database and not just a few error messages?)

Yes, SWGuy, I had the same thought, and have opened it and it does contain all of the info! Goo thought, though!

After importing via phpmyadmin, does phpmyadmin show the data you are expecting?

[NWCE]

Hi Torvista,

Thanks for your reply! No, PhpMyAdmin tables show nothing in the database.

Do you have any other ideas??

Thanks,

Jeff

After Importing the database through phpMyAdmin is says 1517 processed and that it is all OK, but still no information has been imported into my new database.

I then just for a shot in the dark tried using backup_mySQL plugin to backup the database just to see or confirm its size. I received this error:

Result code: 1
0 => '"mysqldump"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
1 => operable program or batch file.
Failure: The database has NOT been saved.

Does this information help to solve my problem??

Thanks again for the help,

Jeff

It's starting to really look like you can't run it in your current configuration.
IIRC the readme and/or the language file contain instructions on specifying the correct mysql binary/application for your computer. NOTE: If you change that to suit your local PC it will NOT match what's on your server.

Perhaps you should just do your backup with phpMyAdmin, and then take that backup and import it to the new database also using phpMyAdmin.

Ok Thank you for your reply Dr.Byte..... I will try this!
