SOLVED:RE: mysqldump access denied error
the solution here is that my password contained metacharacters and therefore I needed to include escapes before eac metacharacter like such: /usr/bin/mysqldump -u user -pg/#o/$ogle db > dbBackup.sql this did the trick. thanks all for your help tait -Original Message- From: Tait Sanders [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 18 January 2005 1:36 PM To: mysql@lists.mysql.com Subject: mysqldump access denied error I've put together a shell script that is simply - /usr/bin/mysqldump -u user -ppassword db > dbBackup.sql When I run this script I get the error "1045: Access denied for user ' [EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: YES) when trying to connect" When I log into mysql - user#mysql -u user -p password - I connect fine.

RE: mysqldump access denied error
The user does have file privileges but - I just tried running the same script without the password included. Like the following: "/usr/bin/mysqldump -u user -p db > dbBackup.sql" instead of "/usr/bin/mysqldump -u user -ppassword db > dbBackup.sql" and this worked... so does anyone know what could be the problem with the password here? I really want to include the password in the script as I don't want to be prompted for it at say 3 in the morning when cron runs it. thanks, tait tait sanders computer support technician element IT services information services gold coast campus griffith university 9726 australia e [EMAIL PROTECTED] p +61 07 555 28348 f +61 07 555 29003 --- PRIVILEGED â PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL This email and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) and may contain information which is confidential or privileged.

hi all, i had a problem where: running apple os 10.3 server with mysql 4.0.16 and mysql would not start. found this solution at: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107537 problem was that mysql was unable to start due to the hostname on my system being set to something other than the DNS name. i.e. 'media' instead of 'media.arts.unsw.edu.au'. The article goes on to explain that this 'prevents the database from being created'.

Re: newbie - connect error
well I found my hostname.err file. It states this: "mysqld started InnoDB: Operating system error number 13 in a file operation. The error means that mysqld does not have the access rights to the directory. mysqld ended." so okay - how do I give mysqld the rights to the directory??

It sounds like your server is never actually starting properly. There could be any number of reasons for this - it's best to work through the installation instructions that came with the package. To see what failed, chances are good there is an entry in the error log (it will probably be named "hostname.err" where "hostname" is your system's name) under your data directory (perhaps /usr/local/mysql/data, but you might have installed it in another location). View with something like this: tail /usr/local/mysql/data/hostname.err If you can't find the data directory or the err file, chances are that something fundamental is misconfigured (such as file permissions or directory locations). For this go to the instructions in INSTALL-BINARY or whatever's appropriate for your build, and make sure you've followed them all.

I'm running an os10.3 server with mysql v. 4.0.16 When I try to start mysql with 'mysqld_safe &' I get a message that: "Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql" "040116 10:07:57 mysqld ended" then nothing... the terminal is blank. when I then do 'ps auwx | grep mysql' I get that only the grep process is running. then when I do 'mysql -u root' I get this error: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) I checked in /tmp and mysql.sock is there. I'm think that there's something wrong with my /var/mysql database? Also thinking that I'd be best off re-installing mysql - but how? I've tried 'rpm -qa \ grep MySQL' but aparently this 'rpm' command is not available. any help appreciated. ta tait tait sanders computer technician sir robert webster bldg trc unsw Dr. Gregory B.

newbie - connect error
Hi, I'm a newbie to mysql. I'm running an os10.3 server with mysql v. 4.0.16 When I try to start mysql with 'mysqld_safe &' I get a message that: "Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql" "040116 10:07:57 mysqld ended" then nothing... the terminal is blank. when I then do 'ps auwx | grep mysql' I get that only the grep process is running. then when I do 'mysql -u root' I get this error: ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (61) I checked in /tmp and mysql.sock is there.
