Title: Back up - error
Post by: ceebster on August 16, 2006, 03:08:53 PM

Hi Folks

SME 7.0 in sever only mode - when i chose the menu Back up, and then Back up to desktop - the server manager is giving me an error of
"Error occurred during pre-backup actions."

Any Ideas of how i can fix this?

Thanks

Chris

Chris,

I'm getting the exact same error message.  I want to backup my running system information before I install the new updates (just in case) but I get the same message you do... :(

Any help?

Thx!

Shayne

Problems to bug tracker please. Make sure you include any log info.

Ok.  Found the problem and see that is has already been addressed in Bugtracker (http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769) however, no resolution was ever posted for it.  Just a "you should never, ever, ever change the MYSQL root password" instead of how to fix it once it is changed    :-?

At any rate, here is the log error:

Aug 16 14:28:33 tci3-srv esmith::event[18823]: mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) when trying to connect  

I'll post this in bug 769 as well, but I think we just need a solution of how to either "reset" or "restore" the default password.

Thanks!

And the "workaround" is found in this bug...
