Hi Lars! (2670=Greve?)

My SME server 7.0 can`t create a full backup from the Server-manager - Backup and Restore Why ?

I haft change my mysql Root user password and efter this can`t create this backup to desktop.

This message might help you...  

...or maybe this message is even better

Note you can not take a full backup using the backup to desktop function; only your 'data' will be backed up

Neither of those topics will help.  Neither have the correct procedure to reset the mysql root password in SME7. The correct procedure is

Code: [Select]


# cd /var/service/mysqld
# runsvctrl d .
# expand-template /root/.my.cnf
# expand-template /var/service/mysqld/set.password
# /usr/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables < ./set.password
# runsvctrl u .

Look here for more background: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=778

As has been said MANY MANY times...

NEVER, EVER UNDER ANY CONDITIONS CHANGE THE MYSQL ROOT PASSWORD...EVER!!!

Hello all,

I have a simular issue, I am unable to run a ‘backup to desktop’ on my SME server 7.1, as I also get the “Error occurred during pre-backup actions.” error

I have read trough all of the articles that are linked to this message and I have not had much success.

Well I did change the MYSQL root password, and I promise that I will never ever ever do it again… promise.  However I reset the root password in MySQLadmin prompt to what it was at install ‘’(null) this did not work so  I also tryed the code provided by monk

# cd /var/service/mysqld
# runsvctrl d .
# expand-template /root/.my.cnf
# expand-template /var/service/mysqld/set.password
# /usr/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables < ./set.password
# runsvctrl u .

Unfortunately this has not really helped at all as I still get the same errors. So over to the brains trust what should i do next

any help would be great, cheers

sorry i meant pfloor not monk .... sorry pfloor

Hello all,

I have a simular issue, I am unable to run a ‘backup to desktop’ on my SME server 7.1, as I also get the “Error occurred during pre-backup actions.” error

There are only 3 events in the pre-backup action.

1-Deletes any previous mysql.dump.
2-Creates a new mysql.dump
3-Rewinds the tape drive (if you have one).

You need to look in your log file and get the exact error form the time of the attemped backup and post them here.

I have read trough all of the articles that are linked to this message and I have not had much success.

Well I did change the MYSQL root password, and I promise that I will never ever ever do it again… promise.  However I reset the root password in MySQLadmin prompt to what it was at install ‘’(null)

The mysql root password was never null.  It wa a specially assigned 76 char high security password.  There is a mechanism that allow you to access mysql if you are logged in as root without having to know the 76 char password.

this did not work so  I also tryed the code provided by monk

# cd /var/service/mysqld
# runsvctrl d .
# expand-template /root/.my.cnf
# expand-template /var/service/mysqld/set.password
# /usr/libexec/mysqld --bootstrap --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables < ./set.password
# runsvctrl u .

Unfortunately this has not really helped at all as I still get the same errors. So over to the brains trust what should i do next

any help would be great, cheers

Your commands look correct. Did you get any errors when executing them?

[oliwbol]

1. sorry i assumed that the root pwd was null as when i did the
# mysql -u root -p i would let me straight in ?

2. sorry to be a newbie but where does the particular log file live?

the MYSQLD log is empty :-

anything Else i need to look at

[pfloor]

Look at your "messages" log around the time of the failed backup attempt.

cheers mate

Wow strange days indeed, I got in this morning and found that the server had hung, for some strange reason.  Below is the messages log file.  But the backup process is working. I would still like to know what stoped it from going though;

i think that the nightly cron jobs kicked off, hit a memory error and crashed out.  Not good!  this Could be memory?,or probably disk/swap partition? soi did a test on the swap:

 
the test went ok ? I didn't get any errors on the consol nor the msg log ?

Well unfortunately it happened again, the server hung when it was trying to do a backup.

I really don’t know what I can do… I have tested the swap space and it looks like everything is groovy.  

HELP! – Anyone out there got any ideas on how to fix this?

Did you remove these directories? if not, possibly you have a drive going bad.

Looks like you may be experiencing some hardware problems.  What are your hardware specs?

Hello Paul

Thanks for the response,

Those directories exist, I have not removed them, that part of the log actually names 90% of the file structure in the ibays. Hardware wise It’s a yum cha (generic brand) Pentium III 2 Ghz with 1GB RAM and 2 SCSI 40GB HDDs.

Is there any sort of chkdsk.exe command in SME server like in DOS? How do you go about checking disks and repairing them, or do I have to get rid of the drives?
