Transfer chmodded folders

Postby Repute » 21. January 2004 21:42

I want te transfer al my existing folders to an new linux server. But want to keep all the chmod settings of the folders what is the best way to do that? (The servers are in my private LAN)

How does the new backup system in LAMPP work?

Thnx,

Repute

Dear Repute! :)

It's very simple:

Step 1

Create the backup by calling

/opt/lampp/lampp backup
or
/opt/lampp/lampp backup secret

Where secret is your MySQL root password.

This command will create the following output:

Code: Select all
# /opt/lampp/lampp backup
Backing up databases...
Backing up configuration, log and htdocs files...
Calculating checksums...
Building final backup file...
Backup finished.
Take care of /opt/lampp/backup/xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh
#


Step 2

The file /opt/lampp/backup/xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh contains your backuped data. Get this file to your new machine.

Step 3

On the new machine you need the same version of XAMPP as on your original/source machine.

Call (as root): sh xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh

You shoud see something like this:

Code: Select all
# sh xampp-backup-22-01-04.sh
Checking integrity of files...
Restoring configuration, log and htdocs files...
Checking versions...
Installed:   XAMPP 1.4.2
Backup from: XAMPP 1.4.2
Restoring MySQL databases...
Restoring MySQL user databases...
Backup complete. Have fun!
You may need to restart XAMPP to complete the restore.
#


That's all. As you can read you may need to restart XAMPP.

It should work perfectly (I tested it many times) but remember it's a beta feature.

Best regards

Okay. Please add now the options to the command:

-uroot -p<your password>

Please replace <your password> with your password. For example: -psecret

And again. What do you get? ;)

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 10 to server version: 4.0.17-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

Great. If you still see the mysql> prompt please type quit.

Now call

/opt/lampp/lampp backup secret

Where you have to replace "secret" with your password.

And again, again: what do you see? ;)

That's very, very strange.

Ok. 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 and call again:

/opt/lampp/lampp backup secret

What is happening?
