Hi, Maybe you will have better luck with a command like:
mysqldump -u user -ppassword databasename > backup_date.sql Regarding phpmyadmin, my guess would be, the script is longer than the permitted time to finish. Defaults in php.ini is something like: max_execution_time = 30 ; Maximum execution time of each script, ; in seconds max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend ; parsing request data memory_limit = 8M ; Maximum amount of memory a script may ; consume (8MB) -- Later Mogens Melander +45 40 85 71 38 +66 870 133 224 On Wed, April 11, 2007 21:11, Richard wrote: > Hello, I've got a problem with mysql 5 on my debian server. > > I've got a forum on this server and untill the database reached about 60 > Mo I could dump the database with either phpmyadmin or with the command : > > mysql -u user -p'password' databasename > backup_date.sql > > My last backup that worked was about 56Mb, but now since I've gone over > the 60mb my backup files with phpmyadmin and mysqldump are only around > 46Mb and therefore don't contain everything and also when I do a > mysql -u user -p'password' databasename > backup_date.sql > > it never finishes, and even if I wait for two hours the bacup_date.sql > file is 0Mb ... > > The forum runs well and I use no compression I save the file in simple > .sql text format. > > Any ideas as to why it does this or how I can fix it would be great ! > I've gone through my my.cnf file and I can't see any setting that seems > to block this.
