I did an upgrade of Xampp to version 1.8.3-1
In phpMyAdmin, I can see my databases and the tables in them on the list on the left side.
But if I click any of my tables, I get and error #1146 table doesn't exist.
It is probably some kind of user access issue. But I haven't changed anything. I'm logging as root/no pw on mysql.
any idea?
thanks,
Benoit
If you changed the version of XAMPP you also chnaged the version of MySQL.
A straight copy of databases will probably not work.
You either need to backup under the old version and restore into the new version or use the mysql_upgrade processor.
Look up usage of mysql upgrade here mysql doc
You will need to find the page relating to the from-version and to-version of MySQL. It may even be required to go via a number of other versions of MySQL. So the backup and restore option os a lot easier.
Simple upgradation wont help, Following two steps will help you out:
Before upgrade , Go to the directory xampp/mysql/data ( or whatever is relevant to your OS) , and copy all the files starting with word ib, like ib_logfil0 etc. and paste to the upgraded version after upgrade.
Go to mysql command line, and run this command:
mysql_upgrade

Perhaps not really a suitable SO question but I'll give it a try.
When I try to dump my DB from the remote server, my MySQL workbench for MacOS tells me:
Applications/MySQLWorkbench.app/Contents/MacOS/mysqldump is version 5.7.12, but the MySQL Server to be dumped has version 5.7.15.
Because the version of mysqldump is older than the server, some features may not be backed up properly.
It is recommended you upgrade your local MySQL client programs, including mysqldump, to a version equal to or newer than that of the target server.
The path to the dump tool must then be set in Preferences -> Administrator -> Path to mysqldump Tool:
I have version 6.3 installed, and the built-in "check for updates" only tells me I already have the latest version.
Does anyone know where I can go to download this more recent dump tool? I looked around on the MySQL.com but couldn't find it.
There's a simple way to solve your problem.
Just go on google type: mysqldump 5.7.20 (this number is the version are you looking for, in my case is 5.7.20)
choose the link site from https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/
on that page scroll down until you see a list of avaible downloads, choose your operating system (in my case is Windows) then... download the zip that has the version you are looking for.
unzip that folder... go to bin inside it... from there copy mysqldump and paste it into your MySQLWorkbench folder... (replacing the one is in there)
restart your MySQLWorkbench... and that is all.
You just need to update the mysqldump.exe.The up to date version of the exe can be found in. To solve the issue just go to Edit->Preferences->Administrator ,and browse the following path
for example C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Workbench CE 5.2.47\mysqldump.exe
If for some reason you have two separate installations of the SQL server, you might be pointing to the wrong sqldump.
I am running Mac OS 10.10.2. I have recently been educating myself about php and SQL in order to create an online database application for my employer. However, I have been unable to load up my MySQL databases in phpMyAdmin. I have tried following some advice from this forum, but no answers seem to solve my issue.
I installed MySQLWorkbench (Ver. 6.2.4.12437) as well as XAMPP (Ver. 5.6.3-0), and was using phpMyAdmin to have a play around and better understand what I was getting myself into. I then found one of those follow-the-bouncing-ball type teaching websites which advised me to download and install the MySQL community server (Currently running Ver. 5.6.23)
As instructed, I was learning SQL commands through Terminal and built up some databases/tables this way. I decided I wanted to jump into phpMyAdmin where I felt it'd be easier to continue my work. At first XAMPP was unable to turn on the servers which I overcame by uninstalling and reinstalling. Then I was getting a #2002 error when trying to access phpMyAdmin. I tinkered with config files and put in details relating to my localhost MySQL server (Or at least I assume as much).
I was able to get back into phpMyAdmin finally, but my databases made through terminal are not there.
phpMyAdmin shows: cdcol (the example database), information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, phpmyadmin, and test.
If I open terminal and punch in 'mysql' then 'SHOW DATABASES;' it only lists: information_schema.
If I open terminal and punch in 'mysql' with username 'root' and my password, then 'SHOW DATABASES;' it lists: information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, my tutorial/learning database, and my business database. I dropped the test database from here. THESE are what I want to bring up in phpMyAdmin.
I can only guess that I haven't got it configured properly to access this last mysql server, but I can't determine where I am going wrong. If anyone can shed some light on this, that'd be greatly appreciated.
It appears as if you have two MySQL instances; one from the XAMPP and also the MySQL Community Server that you installed yourself.
The "M" of XAMPP is for MySQL, so yes usually it runs its own MySQL server instance. That's sort of the point of the packaged kit, so you don't have to worry about having any of your own applications installed. In theory it should be no problem to stop the XAMPP MySQL instance and instead use your other one, but may require tweaking some configuration files and is probably not supported. If you can make it work, I don't see a reason why it would be a problem, though.
My suggestion is to either use the complete XAMPP stack or roll your own installation rather than mix and match.
Today I installed a new version of wamp server on my computer (over the old one). The icon on the bottom right stays orange after starting wampserver. I found out that Mysql is not starting op. The Mysql log file shows errors like these:
[ERROR] Native table 'performance_schema'.'setup_instruments' has the wrong structure
[ERROR] Native table 'performance_schema'.'setup_timers' has the wrong structure
[ERROR] Native table 'performance_schema'.'performance_timers' has the wrong structure
After searching on the internet I found out that I probably have to run mysql_upgrade
I open the mysql.exe file (with administrator) in this folder C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.8\bin
but when I run the upgrade using this syntax: shell> mysql_upgrade; it returns a message that I have an error in my sql-syntax. (I tried it with all services on and with all services off) Does anyone have an idea how I can solve this? Or maybe there are other ways to get Mysql run.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards, Liesbeth
The mysql_upgrade is a stand alone executable, not a DML or DDL command so it cannot be issued via mysql.exe program.
So first MAKE A BACKUP OF ALL YOUR NEW DATABASE FOLDER as this process can get destructive if things go wrong.
So backup \wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.8\data and all its subfolders, put this somewhere safe!
The copy your old databases to your new version folder.
copy \wamp\bin\mysql\mysql{old version}\data to \wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.8\data
Then you have to run mysql_upgrade.exe as an administrator so start a command window by right clicking the command window icon and selecting Run as Administrator
Then
cd into \wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.5.8\bin
Now you can issue the upgrade command like this:
mysql_upgrade.exe
Depending on how many databases you have it may take a little time, so dont panic, you have a backup anyway.
I recently switched from using XAMPP to WAMP on my Windows 7 machine so I can do fast switching of PHP versions.
I completely uninstalled XAMPP, but first I backed up my htdocs, apache and mysql directories just in case.
After I installed WAMP and had everything up and running, I figured I could just drop some of my databases from my old XAMPP install into the "data" directory of the mysql directory in WAMP.
So that worked and the database shows up in phpMyadmin, but there are no tables. Is this a permissions thing? Like maybe I don't have the same user in the new install of mysql? Or am I missing something?
Am I allowed to just copy MySQL databases from one data folder to another or does it not work that way?
Both instances are using MySQL 5.5 (at least that's what both README files say in both MySQL directories).
THANKS
When using phpMyAdmin out of the box so to speak in WAMP, MYSQL is installed as per its default installation with the root userid setup to have NO PASSWORD.
Some people seem to think they should make one up when they see the login screen, is that what you are doing?
When you do this phpmyadmin allows you to APPEAR to login but then as you do not have root's privilages you see almost nothing on its other screens and are allowed to do nothing.
Use
username = root
password = (leave this blank)
Then set a password, there is a link on the next page it presents. AND DONT FORGET IT!!!!
This generally isn't a good idea. RiggsFolly was asking about your table type because some table types are more forgiving than others. Other possible trouble spots include file system permission problems or MySQL permission problems (as RiggsFolly asked).
I'd suggest to do an export (as an SQL file) and import that for a complete solution.
I've been stupid enough to delete too many databases in XAMPP with PHPMyAdmin and now my sites on localhost don't run properly anymore. Please see this screenshot of the main errors
I guess entirely reinstalling XAMPP will fix the problem but that might take much more time than necessary. Preferably, I'd like to just reinstall the MySQL component or perhaps recreate/repair some databases required for XAMPP to function properly. However, it looks as if I can only reinstall XAMPP entirely instead of separate components (and if that's correct, it's probably for a reason...).
Do I have a better option here than a complete reinstall of XAMPP?
OK, fixed it with the kind help of scones.
1) By default (XAMPP 1.8.1 on Windows XP), there seems to be a folder C:\xampp\mysql\backup\phpmyadmin. Just copy-paste this entire folder into C:\xampp\mysql\data.
2) Stop and restart MySQL
3) If you're using WordPress, your pages may be blank since it may think there are no themes available. Go to [frontpage url]/wp-admin/. Now just reactivate the theme you'd like to use and all seems up and running again!
You dropped the database for PHPMyAdmin. If you can just restore that (with a command line mysql tool or any tool that does not rely on a web-interface), you can use phpmyadmin again.
