Using the integrated XAMPP backup system

[Nick Taylor]

Hello,
I have tried to use the backup system in XAMPP (/opt/lampp/lampp backup) but it doesnt work. It says:
"Can't access database. Is MYSQL running? Added the MySQL root password to end of command line?"

MySQL is running and set up. What is the correct way/correct command line to use for lampp backup, please?

Thanks

Long lives XAMPP!

I have the same problem.
Maybe this "bug" (?) will be fixed soon since backup is still a beta.
I should mention that there is only one MSQL running on my system.
Maybe someone has a solution to fix this error

Edit:
Oh I found something Kai wrote in another post. I'm a stupid one. I should have read the whole new posts before writing something

Hmm... _ (underscores) are no problem.

Ahhh... stupid me!!!!

You found a bug!

Again... please take your favourite editor and edit /opt/lampp/lampp.

At line 400 you find:

/opt/lampp/share/lampp/backup

Please add a space and $2 to the end of this line. Like this:

/opt/lampp/share/lampp/backup $2

And now try again. Now it should work perfectly.

Repute, thanks for "finding" this bug!!!

Have to test this maybe the problem will be fixed then.

Thanks Nick for the tipp

I forgot to mention that Kai wrote in the thread 'bout another fix to do.
(oh -again- shame on me )

Now could you please edit /opt/lampp/share/lampp/backup?

At line 27 you find:

d=`echo "show databases" | /opt/lampp/bin/mysql -uroot $passwd 2>/dev/null`

Please remove the 2>/dev/null. It should look like:

d=`echo "show databases" | /opt/lampp/bin/mysql -uroot $passwd`

Save.

Now it works

No no no! No shame!

The last change posted by MinJun is not necessary! It was only a change to make debugging possible and find the real bug.
