Database backup ISPConfig 3.0.5 RC2
 

Hi,

I installed ISPConfig 3.0.5 RC2 and it says that the backup should include the database which is beautifull but if I choose "download" in the backup section, the backup included in the /backup doesn't contain the database file which is less beautifull I think.

Am I doing something wrong or is the database only included in the restore process?

Thanks for the answer.

You should assign database to your website to have the database backup, if yours is a old installation, you have to do it manually for every website.

For newer website the ispconfig will automatically ask you to assign the database.

Thats it! Thanks for the help

Hi Pawan,

I thought that was the solution but it isn't. The database is still not backuped. If I download the backup file it contains only the FTP data. The database is not included in there.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Thanks again

Backups are created nightly. Have you waited until the next day before you tried the download again?

Well, their are also backups made this night and they don't include the databases either. And it is a fresh website created on the 3.0.5 final.

Their don't have to be any specific settings right? Just create a database user, the database and the website isn't it?

Yes. Please check that the applications sudo and mysqldump are installed on your server and that the mysql root password in /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/mysql_clientdb.conf is correct and does not contain any special chars.

Aha, mysql_clientdb.conf says that the mysql database is localhost, but it is not, so that should be the solution.
I will have to wait for the next backup tonight but thanks so far again!

It's working now!
External MySQL backup still didn't work but I didn't see any good reason to use an external database so I am using the local MySQL database now and that works with the backup.
