Hi I am getting an error with the Wordpress WP-DBManager Plugin:
MYSQL dump path does NOT exist. Please check your mysqldump path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator.
MYSQL path does NOT exist. Please check your mysql path under DB Options. If uncertain, contact your server administrator.
IT Server administrator doesn't know what to do.
So I have refered to this article: https://www.hacksparrow.com/wp-dbmanager-error-mysql-dump-path-does-not-exist-please-check-your-mysqldump-path-under-db-options.html
I am running AWS, ubuntu lamp stack - mysql 5.6, php7.0
I have checked /usr/bin and no mysqldump or mysql folder.
In the php.ini folder there is this line ;open_basedir =
Do I create mysqldump and mysql folders? and set open_basedir to open_basedir = /usr/bin/ I am not quite sure?
Or based on that article there was modules to add - <IfModule sapi_apache2.c>...
I could not find the httpd.conf file, where would I find this file?
Well, imagine trying to revive this fossil...welp. Either way, seems like this issue is still relevant for some people and no answer.
Most, if not all major server will use the following paths that you can put in the DB Options (assuming this problem originated in WP-DBManager)
/usr/bin/mysqldump
/usr/bin/mysql
This will give you the green light you're looking for

I am having a lot of problems with mysql on macos 10.14. It started with trying to reset my password. Back when I collaborated with someone in 2018 my collaborator used mysql but I did not know how to work it. I have a feeling that the password I used for mysql is not the typical password I used because my attempts to log in failed. watching this video I was told at 9:12 that the password would be set on installation but that turned out to be false. I was never asked for a password upon downloading but perhaps that is because I had part of mysql already downloaded on my computer but I did not have the workbench installed. All of my attempts to reset the password failed. So I then tried deleting mysql and redownloading. Now I am not able not to start the mysql server from mac's system preferences. But that's not my largest problem. I still cannot reset the password and hence even use the app. Following official mysql instructions I cannot reset the password because it requires the location of a pid file. It says
Stop the MySQL server if it is running. Locate the .pid file that contains the server's process ID. The exact location and name of this file depend on your distribution, host name, and configuration. Common locations are /var/lib/mysql/, /var/run/mysqld/, and /usr/local/mysql/data/.
In the folder for mysql located in /usr/local/var/mysql there is no pid file. A lot of the tutorials I've seen recommend using terminal but I cannot use terminal for mysql because I get the mysql command not found error. Ok, so to fix that problem trying this tutorial here it says:
If you’re installing MySQL using the official installer, then your MySQL bin/ folder should be located on /usr/local/bin/mysql
So now I need to find the mysql bin file but when I write ls in the /usr/local/bin folder, mysql does not come up. All of the file beginning near 'my' are
multinit
murge
nasm
So I'm stuck. I find it simply incredible that such a simple thing as resetting a password is so difficult.
Let’s say we installed MySQL version is 8.0 on our Windows OS. The bin directory is present at the following location −
C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 8.0\bin
I am using phpmyadmin on my windows os. I have a database with one table which has 100M records with the size of 20GB. I want to export this table and have the table.sql file. Whenever I try to do this, the size of the exported file is 0 bytes. When I check the apache error log, the following would show up:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 1073741824 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1066139648 bytes)
Any idea how to solve this problem?!
Thanks :)
I would suggest to try using the command line and the mysqldump.exe utility, as suggested here
If you have shared hosting and you are using Cpanel then they are providing you the option to backup your database in the following section.
Files => Backup => Download a MySQL Database Backup.
If you are on a shared hosting or you don't have access to shell, then use mysqldumper script; copy it to your server and start it in your browser under "yourDomain.com/path_to_mysqlumper/"
MySQLDumper is a PHP and Perl based tool for backing up MySQL
databases. You can easily dump your data into a backup file and - if
needed - restore it. It is especially suited for shared hosting
webspaces, where you don't have shell access.
If you have shell access to your host servers (if provided by your host since not all shared server hosters give this access) then you may use SSH access like in this tutorial using Putty that you install and configure then import or export your databases like in this third tutorial.
I try mysqldump for many hours but didnt work, until I started a superuser console.
First, start a superuser console
sudo su
Then, try the complete command
/opt/lampp/bin/mysqldump -u root -p [DATABASE NAME] > [PATH_FOR_BACKUPFILE]/[FILE_NAME].sql
I my case, it was something like /opt/lampp/bin/mysqldump -u root -p database > /home/user/backup.sql
MySQLDumper worked like a charm for me at my hosted website. I had to copy one database and "paste" it into a new database. In MySQLDumper, it isn't apparent right away how to do this, but the key is to create a new configuration file in MySQLDumper and that will allow you to copy/restore to different databases.
On the home screen in MySQLDumper, click Configuration, then Configuration Files. There is a text box at the top allowing you to create a new Configuration file. In there, put in the information for the second database you need (you created a connection to the first database when you install MySQLDumper). Save it. Then you can click Restore where you can select the dump of the first database and restore it in the second one.
This was a lifesaver. Thanks!
increase
max_post_size
variable in php.ini file. Then you will be able to download it.
I had a different issue when I was downloading from phpmyadmin in the middle like 180MB download stops with message - network error
So I used ssh connection which you can find in your cpanel sometimes they provide browser based terminal or sometime you have to access it using putty .
In terminal I go inside my public_html folder where all my files are stored . Followed by this command:
mysqldump -u [username] -p [database-you-want-to-dump] > [path-to-place-data-dump.sql]
This did the job in few minutes and saved a sql file in my public_html folder. Then I opened the folder in File manager and downloaded it from there.
You can also use FTP or you can download it directory by accessing by url.
Make sure you delete it after your download finishes.
I come from the oracle world where the tnsnames.ora file contain all the sql connection information.
I cannot seem to find the file containing such information for mysql. Could someone with a windows machine tell me where I can find it please.
MySQL doesn't need a connections file analogous to the .tns file. MySQL has nothing like a TNS. Connection parameters typically are configured explicitly in your application.
You can optionally create a file called .my.cnf that contains a user's default parameters for connecting.
See also What is the location of mysql client “.my.cnf” in Windows? that shows how to use mysql --help to find out the location of all the config files.
Most people just configure one set of connection parameters in their .my.cnf file, but you can configure multiple sets of connection parameters under different [client] groups, and invoke MySQL client tools to use the respective connection. There's an excellent blog that describes how to set this up here: http://datacharmer.blogspot.com/2011/03/hidden-options-file-trick.html
Re your updated info:
Sorry, I had to boot up a Windows box and install MySQL Workbench to check where the connection info is stored. I don't normally use Windows.
Right, for MySQL Workbench, the connection data is in for example,
C:\Users\Uncle Iroh\AppData\Roaming\MySQL\Workbench\connections.xml
But you're not expected to edit this by hand, and you'll probably ruin it if you try. It's undocumented, and presumably the format could change if you change versions of MySQL Workbench. You should create or edit connections in the Workbench GUI.
There is no such thing in MySQL. Check for a config file called my.ini or my.cnf. If MySQL is using a non-default port (not 3306), it will be detailed there. Otherwise, connect using:
mysql -u user -p
This is an executable (mysql.exe) you'll find in the bin directory of the installation (probably). For example, on my Windows box it's here: C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\mysql.exe
I want to import over 1GB size sql file to MySQL database in localhost WAMP/phpmyadmin. But phpmyadmin UI doesn't allow to import such big file.
What are the possible ways to do that such as any SQL query to import .sql file ?
Thanks
I suspect you will be able to import 1 GB file through phpmyadmin But you can try by increasing the following value in php.ini and restart the wamp.
post_max_size=1280M
upload_max_filesize=1280M
max_execution_time = 300 //increase time as per your server requirement.
You can also try below command from command prompt, your path may be different as per your MySQL installation.
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.24\bin\mysql.exe -u root -p db_name < C:\some_path\your_sql_file.sql
You should increase the max_allowed_packet of mysql in my.ini to avoid MySQL server gone away error, something like this
max_allowed_packet = 100M
Step 1:
Find the config.inc.php file located in the phpmyadmin directory. In my case it is located here:
C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.4.5\config.inc.php
Note: phymyadmin3.4.5 folder name is different in different version of wamp
Step 2:
Find the line with $cfg['UploadDir'] on it and update it to:
$cfg['UploadDir'] = 'upload';
Step 3:
Create a directory called ‘upload’ within the phpmyadmin directory.
C:\wamp\apps\phpmyadmin3.2.0.1\upload\
Step 4:
Copy and paste the large sql file into upload directory which you want importing to phymyadmin
Step 5:
Select sql file from drop down list from phymyadmin to import.
The values indicated by Ram Sharma might need to be changed in Wamp alias configuration files instead.
In <wamp_dir>/alias/phpmyadmin.conf, in the <Directory> section:
php_admin_value upload_max_filesize 1280M
php_admin_value post_max_size 1280M
php_admin_value max_execution_time 1800
Make sure to check the phpMyAdmin config file as well! On newer WAMP applications it is set to 128Mb by default. Even if you update php.ini to desired values you still need to update the phpmyadmin.conf!
Sample path: C:\wamp64\alias\phpmyadmin.conf
Or edit through your WAMP icon by: ->Apache -> Alias directories -> phpMyAdmin
I also faced the same problem and, strangely enough, changing the values in php.ini did not work for me.
But I found out one more solution that worked for me.
Click your Wamp server icon -> MySQL -> MySQL console
Once MySQL console is open. Enter your MySQL password and enter these commands:
use user_database_name
source path/to/your/sql/path/filename.sql
If you still have problems, watch this video.
What are the possible ways to do that such as any SQL query to import .sql file ?
Try this
mysql -u<user> -p<password> <database name> < /path/to/dump.sql
assuming dump.sql is your 1 GB dump file
A phpMyAdmin feature called UploadDir permits to upload your file via another mechanism, then importing it from the server's file system. See http://docs.phpmyadmin.net/en/latest/faq.html#i-cannot-upload-big-dump-files-memory-http-or-timeout-problems.
If you will try to load such a large file through phpmyadmin then you would need to change upload_file_size in php.ini to your requirements and then after uploading you will have to revert it back. What will happen? If you would like to load a 3GB file. You will have to change those parameters in php.ini again.
The best solution to solve this issue to open command prompt in windows.
Find path of wamp mysql directory.
Usually, it is C:/wamp64/bin/mysql/mysqlversion/bin/mysql.exe
Execute mysql -u root
You will be in mysql command prompt
Switch database with use command.
mysql> use database_name
mysql> source [file_path]
In case of Windows, here is the example.
mysql> source C:/sqls/sql1GB.sql
That's it. If you will have a database over 10GB or 1000GB. This method will still work for you.
Before importing just make sure you have max_allowed_pack value set some thing large else you will get an error: Error 2006 MySQL server gone away.
Then try the command: mysql -u root -p database_name < file.sql
You can do it in following ways;
You can go to control panel/cpanel and add host %
It means now the database server can be accessed from your local machine.
Now you can install and use MySQL Administrator or Navicat to import and export database with out using PHP-Myadmin, I used it several times to upload 200 MB to 500 MB of data with no issues
Use gzip, bzip2 compressions for exporting and importing. I am using PEA ZIP software (free) in Windows. Try to avoid Winrar and Winzip
Use MySQL Splitter that splits up the sql file into several parts. In my personal suggestion, Not recommended
Using PHP INI setting (dynamically change the max upload and max execution time) as already mentioned by other friends is fruitful but not always.
I suggest you'd definitely use mysql command prompt that would be faster option. because there are limitation in phpmyadmin UI and browsers itself for process request
following are steps to use mysql command line.
doesnt matter if you user xampp/wamp/mamp
find mysql directory in xampp/wamp/mamp in your system directory
search for bin folder path is system dir/(xampp/wamp)/mysql/bin
now open command prompt i'll refer to windows
please change directory in command line and point to path_to_mysql_bin
then user following command
"mysql-u root -p -h localhost" press enter system will ask for password press enter again
finally you're in
please use command "use Database_name" to point to specific database and you're good to go
if you want to upload database in to for ex. temp table
then follow these steps
use temp;
source path_to_sql_file_where_db_is_store_in_your_system.sql;
this will upload sql file database in temp db
if you didnt get any part from this then please pm me i'll definitely help you out.

In Your Case with Xammp it not work.
To Slove this problem In Xammp?
Just make database to Zip file and upload that's
it will work in xammp.
if the size is too large it will show you time out error
but submit the same zip folder again and after resubmitting will continue from position when it Force stop.
I've tried with the SQLyog and It has done the work.
Go to c:/wamp/apps/phpadmin3.5.2
Make a new subfolder called ‘upload’
Edit config.inc.php to find and update this line: $cfg[‘UploadDir’] = ‘upload’
Now when you import a database, you will give a drop-down list in web server upload directory with all the files in this directory. Chose the file you want and you are done.
I just cloned a repo from github and bundle installed everything and created a mysql db via rake db:create. I migrated the database and everything....however, I have no idea where it is located? Usually when I use sqlite, it's in the db/ folder...but this database is not. where can I find it?
Look in your MySQL config file. Usually it's called my.cnf. Where to find this config on your system, we can't say :-)
Look for datadir in a config file
[mysqld]
datadir=/var/lib/mysql/
MySQL works a bit differently than sqlite. Whereas sqlite writes a database directly to a file (in your db/ directory in the case of rails), MySQL writes it to a server (usually located on the same machine as your application, but not always). I would be surprised if an app you cloned off of github let you create a mysql database right off the bat. You need to set up a mysql server and set a password for it. If you're running Ubuntu -- as I am -- these are some good instructions. Then you need to configure your config/database.yml file accordingly.
