OK... I think I've found my problem.. I just don't know how to fix it...
I am trying to automate the back up of my mysql database... and then I would like to beable to restore the db vi phpmyadmin.. if needed....
here's a condensed version of the script I use to do the back up....
Code:
# This location is where the backups are saved to disk
LOCATION="/home/someplace/backup"
# This is where your exec file for mysqldump is located.
MYSQLDUMP="/usr/bin/mysqldump"
# This file has all the mysql database names in it.
# Ex. mysql_backup file
#
#
# database_name
#
#
#
MYSQLDBNAME="/home/someplace/mysql_backup"
# Your Mysql user and passwd.
# Rember this account needs access to all databases.
SQLUSER="someuser"
SQLPASS="mypassword"
DATABASES=`cat $MYSQLDBNAME`
for dbname in $DATABASES
do
$MYSQLDUMP -u$SQLUSER -p$SQLPASS ${dbname} > $LOCATION/${dbname}.mysqlbackup
chmod 440 $LOCATION/${dbname}.mysqlbackup
#chown $STAMP $LOCATION/${dbname}.mysqlbackup
done
The first 28 lines are below:
Code:
-- MySQL dump 8.22
--
-- Host: localhost Database: database-name
---------------------------------------------------------
-- Server version 3.23.54
--
-- Table structure for table 'adminblock'
--
CREATE TABLE adminblock (
title varchar(60) default NULL,
content text
) TYPE=MyISAM;
--
-- Dumping data for table 'adminblock'
--
INSERT INTO adminblock VALUES ('Administration Menu','Admin tools for the Web Technology Group\r\n<br /><span class=\"onebiggerred\">></span>\r\n<a href=\"admin.php\">Administration</a>\r\n<br /><span class=\"onebiggerred\">></span>\r\n<a href=\"admin.php?op=logout\">Logout</a>\r\n');
INSERT INTO adminblock VALUES ('Administration Menu','Admin tools for the Web Technology Group\r\n<br /><span class=\"onebiggerred\">></span>\r\n<a href=\"admin.php\">Administration</a>\r\n<br /><span class=\"onebiggerred\">></span>\r\n<a href=\"admin.php?op=logout\">Logout</a>\r\n');
--
-- Table structure for table 'authors'
--
CREATE TABLE authors (.....bla bla bla..........
if I do a back up via phpMyadmin with structure and data... the out put is below...:
Code:
