Backing up mysql database on another computer - php

Good day!
I have a simple php code that will export a database
exec("E:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.6.12\bin\mysqldump --user=root --password= --host=localhost accounts > E:\database_backup\backup.sql");
This code works but I'm accessing the application on another computer locally via ip like (192.168.1.32/filename/backup.php) so it's not saving.
How can I make it work locally? Thank you in advance.

You need to specify database IP in your mysqldump command and you also need to define required grant privileges in DB ( root#anothercomputerIP)

Raspberry Pi Database Server

I would like to host a database on my raspberry pi to which I can access from any device. I would like to access the contents of the database using python.
What I've done so far:
I installed the necessary mysql packages, including apache 2.
I created my first database which I named test.
I wrote a simple php
script that connects and displays all the contents of my simple
database. The script is located on the raspberry pi at /var/www/html
and is executed when I enter the following from my laptop
(192.168.3.14/select.php)
Now my goal is to be able to connect to the database using python from my laptop. But I seem to have an error connecting to it, this is what I wrote to connect to it.
db = MySQLdb.connect("192.168.3.14","root","12345","test" )
Any help or direction is appreciated.
on the terminal of your raspi use the following command:
mysql -u -p -h --port
where you switch out your hostname with your ip address. since currently you can only connect via local host
at first step is check you haven't firewall rules on raspberry or in your lattop
after you can try this command on mysql
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO 'root'#'%';
and remember to apply new privileges
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
for more detail you can see
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/grant.html
is similar for mariadb ecc...
The reason why you are not able to connect to the database from outside of localhost is that the remote access for the root user is prohibited by default, i.e. you can only access the database with the root user from localhost. You can, however, change this by tweaking root's privileges. Please take a look here to find out how the user privileges need to be change to make this work.

Error importing MySQL database using phpMyAdmin

I am importing a MySQL database from another server to my own server using phpMyAdmin. But the problem is:
I go into import then choose a file which have extension like .sql, .xml. After this procedure I click on the ok button but this doesn't give any response and doesn't even do anything, the page just remains stable.
I also tried with MySQL command prompt using mysqldump.
mysqldump -u username -p databse > database name
but this is also giving an error.
Can any one please help me in solving this?
This command is used to export :
mysqldump -h hostname -u username -p database > sql_file_name
to import you should use
mysql -h hostname -u username -p database < full_file_path
first you need to export a DB from the first server.
on your server you first need to create a new DB and than do the import.
the DB you imported will go to the DB you just created.

Importing huge Database into local server

Is there any way I can Import a huge database into my local server.
The database is of 1.9GB and importing it into my local is causing me a lot of problems.
I have tried sql dumping and was not successful in getting it in my local and have also tried changing the Php.ini settings.
Please let me know if there is any other way of getting this done.
I have used BigDump and also Sql Dump Splitter but I am still to able to find a solution
mysql -u #username# -p #database# < #dump_file#
Navigate to your mysql bin directory and login to your mysql
Select the database
use source command to import the data
[user#localhost] mysql -uroot -hlocalhost // assuming no password
[user#localhost] use mydb // mydb is the databasename
[user#localhost] source /home/user/datadump.sql
Restoring a backup of that size is going to take a long time. There's some great advice here: http://vitobotta.com/smarter-faster-backups-restores-mysql-databases-with-mysqldump/ which essentially gives you some additional options you can use to speed up both the initial backup and the subsequent restore.

Inserting a phpmyadmin sql dump without phpymadmin

I'm moving a site that had access to phpmyadmin to one where I don't (not yet anyway). Is there a php script to import the generated .sql file into a database? The db is created and ready, just need to import the tables and records.
Try this.
Upload your SQL file to the web space via FTP and execute a page with this code in it.
<?php
$file="path/to/file.sql";
$command = "mysql -u $dbuser --password='$dbpassword' --host='$sqlhost' $dbname < $file";
exec($command);
?>
Don't forget to set the variables for database name, username, and password. Also, make sure PHP has access to execute commands using the exec function.
Why use php, why not use MySQL itself:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql.html
Use SSH. Install PuTTy first. Ask your host the server IP, username and password for SSH server, and then do the work. Anyway, how do you think you are going to properly manage your tables and databases without phpmyadmin or any other alternative SQL client, eh? Ask your hosts to install them. Btw, looks like your host's at Antarctica or some other ancient place. I mean, come on man, a SQL client like phpMyAdmin is offered even in free subhosting.

Automatic MySQL Database backup and email through cPanel cron

Can anybody help how to setup a automatic backup of mysql database and then emailing it to me daily?
Thank You.
AutoMySQLBackup gets great reviews. I have not used it but it seems to do exactly what you are looking for. Also, here is another link with different ways to backup, including emailing.
If you're looking to automate your MySQL database backups, say with a cron job, and you host your databases with CPanel web hosting, then there's a PHP script you can use.
You can pick it up here: http://www.hostliketoast.com/2011/10/cpanel-hosting-full-database-backup-script-free-download/
Simple. Not need more.
#!/bin/sh
# Must be installed mutt on your box
mydate=$(date +"%Y%m%d%H%M")
host=$(hostname)
databases='' #'database1 database2 databaseN'
mysqldump --opt --all-databases > /tmp/$host.$mydate.sql
# if not all mysql databases mysqldump --opt $databases > /tmp/$host.$mydate.sql
gzip --best /tmp/mysql02.$mydate.sql
echo "Backup MySQL" | mutt -a /tmp/$host.$mydate.sql.gz -s "Backup MySQL $mydate" -- mail#mail.to
