Thanks for the reply - that was indeed a typo. I resolved this buy making these changes:
mysqldump --defaults-extra-file="c:\sql\dump.cnf" dname > c:\loc with my cnf containing: [client] user = user password = pass Looks like I misplaced "" and or [client] / [mysqldump] in the cnf Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Johan De Meersman [mailto:vegiv...@tuxera.be] Sent: vrijdag 29 januari 2016 15:06 To: Harrie Robins <har...@eyequestion.nl> Cc: MySql <mysql@lists.mysql.com> Subject: Re: my.cnf authencication ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Harrie Robins" <har...@eyequestion.nl> > Subject: my.cnf authencication > > mysqldump --defaults-file dbase > c:\sql\dbase.sql 2>> c:\log.tct Might just be a typo in your mail, but you'll need to actually pass the defaults-file, too: --defaults-file=c:\sql\dump.cnf . I think there may be another typo somewhere, too, as it seems to think that lts-file is the user you're passing. I'm wondering if you haven't accidentally put only a single - in front of defaults-file. > > > My log shows: > > mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user > 'lts-file=c:\sql\dump.cnf'@'localhost' (using password: NO) when > trying to connect > > It looks like credentials are not filled in!? > > Regards, > > > > -- > MySQL General Mailing List > For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql > To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql -- Unhappiness is discouraged and will be corrected with kitten pictures. -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql
