We're trying -->to -->-->use mysqlhotcopy to copy a few databases. We want to make a local -->copy, -->-->nothing exotic, just want to move the database backups to the -->directory -->-->/backups/. -->--> -->-->In particular, we're attempting to make use of the following syntax: -->--> -->-->mysqlhotcopy db_name [/path/to/new_directory] -->--> -->-->However, we receive an error when executing the following: -->--> -->-->%> -->--> -->-->The error is: -->-->"DBI -->-->connect('../backups/wjgilmore/;host=localhost;mysql_read_default_g rou -->p=m -->-->ysqlhotcopy','root',...) failed: Incorrect database name '/backups/' -->at -->-->./mysqlhotcopy line 747" -->--> -->-->In short, what's happening is that mysqlhotcopy thinks that /backups/ -->is -->-->a database that we'd like backed-up. Which, according to the -->following -->-->syntax form (shown in the mysqlhotcopy page of the MySQL manual): -->--> -->-->mysqlhotcopy db_name_1 ... db_name_n /path/to/new_directory -->--> -->-->Interestingly, when using a regular expression, the destination -->-->directory is recognized immediately: -->--> -->-->%>mysqlhotcopy jan-2003./^sales/ /backups/ -->--> -->-->The Juicy details: -->-->* Redhat 7.2 -->-->* Perl 5.6.1 -->-->* Mysql 4.0.9-gamma (although we've tried mysqlhotcopy on three -->-->different mysql versions, with no luck) -->-->* Yes, the user has permission to write to /backups/ -->-->* Yes, the user has select and reload permissions. -->--> -->-->Thanks for any insight. This is driving all of us crazy. Also looked -->all -->-->over the newsgroups regarding this, a few individuals have posted -->-->similar questions, however none were answered. -->--> -->-->Best, -->-->Jason -->--> -->-->====================== -->-->Jason Gilmore -->-->Systems Developer -->-->The Fisher College of Business -->--> -->-->340 Mason Hall -->-->250 W.
