Hello all, I have a dedicated hosting account that I am closing down but I am having problems getting an access denied error when I run the mysqldump command from the ssh prompt, logged in as root. So, the hosting provider, who saw the same error, reported, " Hence, we would suggest you directly FTP the database from server to your machine by using ssh client." I am not sure what that means. Unless it means going into the /home/msyql directory and then into the corresponding directory for the particular db that I am trying to get. This is for a joomla installation. So, there are files that include db.opt and then jos_banner.frm, jos_banner.MYD, jos_banner.MYI, and etc. So, do I download all those files? I am wanting to move the site to another server which is a VPS hosting account that also runs Centos 5.x. Thanks in advance for any help, Bruce _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
