A friend of mine has an account with a hosting company that recently became unstable and he wants to move his site away.
I downloaded the files, but it now seems impossible to download the databases in the conventional ways.
I tried downloading them using their control panel (vDeck) but I get an error "File Permissions do not allow to download backup".
Then I tried to export it using PHPMyAdmin but the files either doesn't download at all, or it downloads inccomplete with the last lines having something like the following:
Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /usr/local/apache/htdocs/phpMyAdmin-2.6.3/export.php:121
I tried to contact their support but they have no clue.
Is there any way to download the database? I thought of creating a script that would manually itterate through the tables and create an export fie similar to what phpMyAdmin creates. I don't know if this is possible, and I hope there are better ways.
i been trying to move my server.. But mysql database is quite big and restoring takes ages 10 12 hours.. is there anyway i can make it quick because database dump takes 10 15mins but restore takes 12hours and it should be a way to make that quick
I have a problem getting mysql to start, so I am planning to setup a new server and move all the mysql databases to a new server.
The problem is I normally get mysql databases when mysql is running by using mysql command lines. Now that I cannot start mysql, I cannot use that method.
Is there a mysql directory that contains all the mysql databases for me to tar it up and untar it on a different? If there is a directory that contains all the mysql databases, do I need to exclude some files/folders so it doesnt conflict with the files/folders on my new mysql server?
what steps procedures need to be done to keep your database as safe as possible from the hackers. Anyway to be alert when someone got into your db and try to dump, alter your database?
I got this weird problem with my VPS which has MySQL 4.1.22 running on it. Everything works fine for sometime and then out of a sudden, it stop recognizing the mysql users and refused to allow my PHP scripts to access the database.
It seems that I needed to restart mySQL server to resolve the issue. Then out of the blues, the same problem occurs.
I am running Cpanel on a VPS and there isn't any overloading as the database access is pretty light on my 512mb VPS.
I contacted my web host about the issue and it seems like all they do is to restart the mySQL. This cannot be a solution as it happens at least once or twice a day depending on how soon I could catch the problem.
All the time this problem occurs, the MYSQL Server is still active and working. I can even access it through PHPMyAdmin but not through the scripts.
I just added an hourly crontab so as to restart the MySQL server as a stop gap.
ways to improve the database performance in the situation when I have to modify a large table (several million rows), by e.g. adding a column. Currently this would take several hours which is too slow. The bottleneck is disk I/O. I am considering either partitioning the table over several innodb files on several disks, or going to a RAID-5 or RAID-10, it this will give me better write performance.
The database is 130GB large, and the problem table (which I make period changes to) is the largest table on the server. I cannot have downtime of 3 hours each time I make a change and adding blank fields (to be used later, when a new field is needed) is not an option.
Each time I add a column, the cpu goes into high (80%) io wait state for about 3 hours.
I have a hack which would allow me to split the large table into multiple smaller tables based on some criteria (for example, forumID or such). Here are a couple of things but would like to know which is best, and am open to new ideas. The ideas so far:
1. Split the table into 3 or 5 smaller tables each on it's own disk. The disk IO would then not be so bad, and it might only take 1 hour to perform the table change. But this might not work because the changes to the database (as in adding a column) might be serial, meaning only 1 disk is being written to at a time. (Then again, maybe it will work if I launch 3 different scripts, one to update each table at once).
2. Do RAID 5 or 10, and have 3 or 5 disks. This again might not help at all because of the above issue with MySQL writing serially.
I am using latest MySQL 5.0.45 with InnoDB engine on Debian etch Linux
have just had a website created for me where I can store my photos on. It uses JSP + MySQL for the databse which stores the photo IDs, photo location etc. I want to get it up and running on the net but have no idea how to do this!
if there are any recommendations on managed database hosting services. This will be used for a fairly large project running on Mysql DB. Due to the size and complexity of the database a lot of resources are being used, so I prefer to find a company which specializes in dB hosting.
