Trying to set up a backup for mySQL databases in CRON.
I've entered the following line in /etc/crontab:
Code:
7 13 * * * root mysqldump -u root -pMYPASSWORD --all-databases | gzip > /home/myuser/mysql_backups/database_`date '+%Y-%m-%d'`.sql.gz
grep CRON /var/log/syslog shows:
[Code].....
If I run the command outside of CRON, it creates the backups no problem, but CRON is not doing anything.
I was having issues with MySQL Server and uninstalled it. I still have my databases at /lib/var/mysql.
My question: if I install MySQL Server (same version, 5.1) again, will it delete my databases, or will they still work?
I use a version of Ubuntu Desktop Edition 9.04 and installed various server software useful for my needs.
New issue. How do I get MySQL databases working on this system, and how do I get myPhpAdmin to help manipulate said databases onto the system?
Quick searches did not bring forth any standard solution.
I have installed Ubuntu Server 10 (x64) using LVM with two disks (this is a Virtual Machine on VMWare ESXi4)
During install I selected only disk 1, and LVM guided Installation Added LAMP and SSH
Server gives only a text mode configuration, great if you are a linux guru, but I am not so it took a bit to find a stripped down GUI. None could be found but I did the following:
apt-get install xorg gdm gnome-core (minimal Gnome install)
apt-get install gnome-system-tools (users and *****s, time)
apt-get install gnome-network-admin (network config)
apt-get install update-notifier (updates)

I have created a similar system with Ubuntu, now I wish to move the var/www directory to sda1, and the databases from MySQL.
I have a laptop and a desktop PC, both running Ubuntu 10.04 and both are configured the same way. I am using Unison-gtk to sync the data between both computers... This works for everything... except for my mysql databases. Any way to simply sync my mysql databases on both computers. Right now I need to do this table-per-table... and it is quite long to proceed like this. What I need is a script or a program (open and preferably free) that would just compare both databases (all the tables) and sync them either by updating existing tables or by creating them. This should work both ways... obviously. I could write a script for this, but I am sure there already is something for this out there.

Nothing of the distribution on the drive is missing. I just need to know which files/folders copy to my new computer to have all databases running. Old computer ran on Dreamlinux (Debian-based). I'm currently running Ubuntu 9.10.

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow do I restore MySQL Databases from an old hdd with Ubuntu on it which won't boot? Information below is not necessary just explaining how I ended up in this situation. Today the harddrive crashed on one of my development servers and I have no recent backup of the MySQL databases on the server.
The stuff on the server weren't horrible important but it would still be nice if I were able to recover some of the files. This is the thing, I don't think the harddrive is entirely dead because it comes to a screen saying harddrive error something enter to continue then it says GRUB in the upper left corner before the computer crashes/reboots.
So I installed Ubuntu server on a new HDD and now I want to attempt to recover the databases from the old HDD by mounting it in Ubuntu but before trying I would like to know who one does that. As I've understood it's a bit more complicated then one might thing because MySQL uses binaries and not plain-files.
I have a system with opensuse 11.0 and mysql
After changing the administrator password only information_schema and test databases are shown in GUI tools (webmin or mysql administrator GUI tool). After the error I restored the password to the old used
if I use mysql in terminal, and use show databases; I can see the 7 databases that I have.
I aslo cannot access to any field using GUI tools (cannot acces to database permissions, or MySQL Server Configuration, host permissions or MySQL system variables). The error is:
DBI connect failed : Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql'
Do you know how to restore the view/access to databases?

Rebooted my server after some funky stuff started happening with mysql. Turns out the drive that stores the mysql databases has gone missing. I did an fdisk, and the partition table is gone. I used gpart to see if there were any partitions available & there were -- two + one swap. Can you help me put this back together I know very little about reconstructing a table to use... Here is the output of what I've talked about...

how can I display all databases and their size using command lines (linux) in a mysql server?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI know very little about MySQL, but I've got some users that need it for testing on a Linux server.So I had set it up a while back, but now I'm running into some small problems.Right now, each user has his own database that I created and can do whatever with it. Each user only sees their own database.I didn't want them to be able to create new databases at all, but they can and when they do anyone can see them.
EDIT(Apparently they can only create databases beginning with the word "test" in the name)
I need to either:
1) Stop them from creating new databases (without affecting their ability to interact with the existing database)
OR
2) Make it so that when they create a database, only they have privileges on it and only they can see it (except mysql root of course).
Anybody know the statement to set these kinds privileges up?
EDIT: pfft... I've a read a bit more and realize that this is an intended part of the installation.
EDIT2
I'd still like to remove the ability to make test databases.
EDIT3:Ok, for reference this is how you prevent users from making and using test databases:
shell> mysql -u root -p
Enter password: (enter root password here)
mysql> DELETE FROM mysql.db WHERE Db LIKE 'test%';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Relational databases usually have their data over in /var/lib/something. Users are in /home (with data in /var/www). How can I apply a single total disk space quota across all of these independent software systems (file systems, RDBMS, etc.)?
P.S. There's a bet going on around me as to just how awesome SU is. Let's see what you've got.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS x64. I would like to backup my /var/lib/mysql directory as a non-root user.
I have been backing this up using cron as the root user, but another admin in my company insists that we create a separate user to perform this task for security reasons. I have created a user, created a group, added the user to the group, but still cannot access /var/lib/mysql/mysql directory as that user. I would like that user to have +rx access only.
I transfered some mysql databases from an 8.04 partition to a 10.04 partition. They wouldn't open because the ownership & group was root:root since I transfered them as root. I looked at the original ownership of the files on 8.04 & found they were all "sane:124 ". I changed everything to mysql:mysql on the 10.04 partition & everything works O.K. now but I have no idea where that owner & group came from.
Two things I don't understand:
1 -Why I had to change ownership from root:root when I was logged in as root in mysql & the databases didn't show up?
2 - Where did the original "sane:124" ownership come from?
I am having no luck configuring ProFTPd on a Debian Lenny production server we use to host our MySQL databases and a few websites. I had originally set it up so I could login and manage our internal sites, but I have the need to allow a few clients in to access their sites that we host. I am trying to root the users in their site directory, which would be "/sites/www.whatever.com/".
It just hit me while typing this. Is it possible to create a user without a shell to prevent login via SSH and set the home folder to /sites/whatever instead of /home/username? That would allow me to continue operating with my current configuration and root them in their site while preventing SSH logins.
I own a CentOS 5 VPS. I typed crontab -e, and then I added the following line to automatically have my server backup mysql
0 * * * * mysqldump -u root -p password --all-databases | gzip > /home/dbbackup/database_`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.sql.gz
When I go in and look, it doesn't place any files in /home/dbbackup. When I run
mysqldump -u root -p password --all-databases | gzip > /home/dbbackup/database_`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.sql.gz
Can anyone tell me how i change the default domain name for cron?everything i cron runs it emails from and to user@com.com
this leaves me with a massive list of failed mails in postfix.i have mailto on my main crontab but i cant do it on all of them.
It seems that cron is not upgrading my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Server, no GUI installed. I changed /etc/crontab and watched apt running:
Code:
ps -A | grep apt
showed it for a long time,
Code:
sudo tcpdump tcp
showed communication with canonical sites,
but:
Code:
top
did not show any apt using CPU

I put in my cron entries to run my backup script which rsyncs my data to my 2nd drive, however on a hunch I checked my backup drive which mounts automatically via fstab and I realize it had not ran in a while. I checked cron and there were no entries for it. I got to wondering if I should ever be worried about a cron update coming down and over-writing my existing cron file with the backup entries in it to run.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI think this goes here, but I'm not sure. I decided that XAMPP had been troublesome enough. MySQL never worked. So I decided to instal the LAMP stack offered by YaST. I went about installing it thinking that it would all work. But it seems that I was wrong. So I try to start mysql, and here's what I get:

I have added some executable scripts to /etc/cron.daily but don't get the stdout/stderr output from them as mail (or anywhere else I have found). At least one of them is running (because I can see that it has added a file to the disk).
The peculiar thing is that I do get the output from /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch (part of the logwatch package) as an email each day.
The MAILTO line in /etc/crontab is "MAILTO=root" (unchanged from default). Same for /etc/anacrontab.
I do have an alias at the end of /etc/aliases which redirects root's mail to my own account, but this alias works fine for mail I send manually. (It also appears to work fine for the output from the file /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch.)
I have set up a cron in /var/spool/cron/root
*/15 * * * * /usr/bin/phplist.sh
I can see in /var/log/cron that it is running every 15 minutes but it has no effect. It is not doing the commands in the bash script.
If I run /usr/bin/phplist.sh right in the shell it works great.

Is there a MS SQL Client for Linux so I can connect to the SQL Server databases?
I'ev got Oracle running as well, and I can back these up from my linux boxes easily as there is a Linux ORacle client. I'd like to do the same with MS SQL, so I have one central location doing my database backups .

Is there any way to redirect some databases to another directory .
Is there any program to create databases graphically? Something like Glom maybe?

So, what are the essential processes of an Oracle Databse that we must check for their status to make sure that the Oracle Databse is up and running fine? What steps do you usually take to validate an Oracle Databse on a Unix / Linux (Production) Server (specifically immediately after a CR has been worked upon)?
