hello everybody, I hope to get an answer here to a problem, that I encountered when I installed a web app on a customers machine.
following situation: from the web application the user can select to make a backup from an mysql database. the servlet code is as follows: String execString = "mysqldump -u " + editor.getUserid() +" --password=" + editor.getPassword() + " -c --add-drop-table -r " + path + backupName + " adb"; try { Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(execString); process.waitFor(); Controller.log(Controller.LOG_TYPE_NOTE, MESSAGE_BACKUP_CREATED + ": " + backupName); session.setAttribute(ConstantsWeb.ATTRIBUTE_MESSAGE, MESSAGE_BACKUP_CREATED + ": " + backupName); ..... now this code works on two machines that I testet the installation on. but on the customers machine, that is running win2k and the same tomcat 4.0.16 and mysql version as the testet machines, I get following error message that I got from: sderr.log in the tomcat/log folder: java.io.IOException: Create Process mysqldump - u admin --password=test -c -add-drop-table -r c:\tomcat4\webapps\asw\backup\backup200406172016.data error=2 at java.lang.Win32Process.create(Native Method) ... can anybody please tell me where the error could be located? What is this error 2? I checked the folders and the user has read/write access to it. the machine is running on the administrator account. I assume that it is a security problem. if so could somebody help me to adjust the catalina policy file? thanks for your help in advance uwe geercken --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
