After all, I am just playing with drupal. I'd welcome your elaboration or a second opinion. If I'm right about the second instance, that will cause the files to be opened by both daemons. Which is rather on the bad side of things. Sounds like good judgement on your part. As I have already posted to the ML, I was forced to use the drupal backup_migrate module.

Re: Dumping drupal databases
Is it the question that how to dump drupal database ? then here is one of the option. You can look at the details mentioned in the default/settings.php file and use mysql to export the data. Or the other option to install a module in Drupal Backup Restore which can you just login thru drupal and you can take a dump of the existing database if you have admin credentials. *thanks regards,* *__* Kishore Kumar Vaishnav *___ RAILSFactory ___* On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 9:42 PM, Tim Johnson t...@akwebsoft.com wrote: * 小刀 13488684...@163.com [121029 18:43]: You can the the /etc/my.cnf and file the parameter about the data_dir I'm sorry.
