In a thread under this subject line, I got advice from Wayne Topa and Maurits van Rees on how to use mysqldump to clone my setup from one Debian server to another.
Today I finally got around to trying this. It failed. I got "ERROR 1064" when trying to import the dumped file into MySQL on the other box. Luckily I found the solution in a skilled (lucky) Google search, which I'll post here in case someone finds this thread later and has the same problem: add "--quote-names" to the mysqldump command. Then it works like a charm, minus the fact that the MySQL setup on box 1 (copied over to the other server) broke mysqladmin on box 2. Oh well, fixing things is what admins are for. -- Carl Fink [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you attempt to fix something that isn't broken, it will be. -Bruce Tognazzini -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
