Are your privileges in MySQL set correctly? If ROOT doesn't have read/write access, the script will crash. rick -----Original Message----- From: Jay Paulson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 22, 2001 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PHP-DB] restoring mysql db after mysqldump Hello everyone- I have done the mysqldump function and got the db in a all_database.sql file. Now I am running this command at the shell prompt of my Linux machine: mysql -u root -p -e 'all_databases.sql' When I do that it works fine until it starts to insert the information into the database. I get the error that the table it is trying to read the information into is 'read only'... Is there anyway around this problem?
