After host change, mysql backup giving error 1045

I checked everything that you mentioned, but I can't find any problem. I even reinstalled the backup utility, and still no go. It doesn't make any sense... If the password or something else was wrong, the whole site wouldn't work.

What has your Hoster said when you advised them of the problem?

From this and other posts you've posted recently, you seem to be having more than your fair share of Hosting problems.

The hosting problems are gone. I like my new host. This is a new problem. It may be host related. Maybe they have something locked down... who knows. I wish I could afford a T3 so I can host it myself. That would be idea. I'd even settle for a T1. Hook it all up to solar panels.

... that's for a different thread though.

Could special characters in my database password be preventing this mod from working? I'll make a password up here... say I use "SAJF*3asfJASF(*S$@>>FJEi" for a password. Would there be any problem?

A T-1 would be terrible for www traffic as most providers are on Multi-OC-48 or OC-192 trunks

T-1 - 1.544 megabits per second (24 DS0 lines)
T-3 - 43.232 megabits per second (28 T-1s)
OC-3 - 155 megabits per second (100 T-1s)
OC-12 - 622 megabits per second (4 OC3s)
OC-48 - 2.5 gigabits per seconds (4 OC12s)
OC-192 - 9.6 gigabits per second (4 OC48s)

What permissions have you granted to the MySQL user for the database you're using?

[canemasters]

I checked the box, all permissions. All of them are checked. Heres a screenshot:

I checked the prices on those speeds... WOW! $50,000+ a month! How does a host afford that when they charge $10 - $50 a month for service?! I guess if you have 5000 users you can afford it. I'm sure there's much more to it than that though.

Most do not own or operate their own $30,000,000+ Data Center but lease rack space from a Data Center and/or some lease servers.

If your traffic is not huge, a T-1 could suffice for www access - You might be better off owning or leasing a dedicated server in a Data Center if you are also a server geek as there is much time invested by most into server configuration and most of us do not share this.
