Control: retitle -1 mysql database backup fails as it is done with root Hi Dan,
Thanks for the additional information. It should now be easy to actually figure out what is going wrong. The following lines clearly show where it is going wrong: creating database backup in /var/cache/dbconfig-common/backups/phpmyadmin_4:4.4.15-1.2015-10-24-11.06.52. _dbc_detect_installed_dbtype() mysql. ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO). While the code says: _dbc_asuser="yes" # This used to be empty, but isn't needed, is it? $dbc_dump_cmd $dbc_dumpfile || dbc_upgrade_error "backing up the old database" Apparently the user isn't picked up correctly somewhere and instead it tries with root user. This should be relatively easy to find. One additional question: it seems like you had to abort TWICE, is that true? Once must really be enough. But while I write this, I have seen earlier bugs that suggest that this may indeed go wrong more often (I thought I fixed that with improved error handling some versions ago). Paul
