I want to take backup of Xampp database available in /opt/lampp/var/mysql
`but I am unable to do it.
I used below command




/opt/lampp/htdocs/vivek.s$ sudo mysqldump -u root -p vive.se >
07feb.sql




and




/opt/lampp/htdocs/vivek.s$ sudo mysqldump -h root -u root -p vive.se >
07feb.sql




Result is same




bash: 07feb.sql: Permission denied




Then I used




sudo -s



sudo mysqldump -u root -p vive.se > 07feb.sql




Result is




sudo: mysqldump: command not found




and it created a Empty file named 07feb.sql in /opt/lampp/htdocs/vivek.s



What is wrong while I saw my friend using same command and he got
database backup of 95 MB.
What should I try.



Thanks

  • use a directory where you can store a file. the ">" part has no permission to write. Regarding the 2nd one: directory to mysqldump is not in the PATH. Use an absolute path

The problem is that you do not have permission to write to /opt/lampp/htdocs/vivek.s as your normal user. Running mysqldump as root elevates mysqldump (unnecessarily), but the redirection happens with the permissions of the shell - running as your regular user.



There's a few workarounds:



  1. Start a root shell by e.g. sudo -i or sudo -s. You should not use sudo to run the next command - mysqldump.


  2. Use tee:



    mysqldump -u root -p vive.se | sudo tee 07feb.sql > /dev/null



This will run the process tee as root, writing one copy to file, and redirecting stdout to /dev/null as we don't need it.



Another workaround would be to write the backup to a location where your user has write permission, for instance your home directory.
