Running the mysql handler with "user = root" and "sqldump = yes" and
mysql credentials in /root/.my.cnf fails with:
boxer:~# backupninja -n -d --run /etc/backup.d/50-boxer.mysql
Info: >>>> starting action /etc/backup.d/50-boxer.mysql (because of --now)
Debug: yes
Debug: User home set to: /root
Debug: using --defaults-file=/.my.cnf
[..]
Info: Initializing SQL dump method
Could not open required defaults file: /.my.cnf
Fatal error in defaults handling. Program aborted
Fatal: Authentication problem, maybe user/password is wrong
Fatal: <<<< finished action /etc/backup.d/50-boxer.mysql: FAILED
Looks like there might be a $vuserhome vs. $userhome typo in
/usr/share/backupninja/mysql . The attached patch fixes the problem
for me.
