I am using wamp server but something happend to it and now there is no way to make it come back to life. I only have access to mysql command line, and i have some important databases there.
How can i export the database using commandline?
please help.
mysqldump -h localhost --routines -u root -p dbname
If the mysql server is not behaving normally, you might have some corrupted tables. It happens usually after an unscheduled restart. mysqldump won't be able to export corrupted tables.
If the mysql server is running, try connecting to it using phpmyadmin and use the built in tools to fix and check the tables
if the mysql server fails to start, check the log files and use the mysql command line tools to fix the issues
myisamchk --silent --force --fast --update-state /var/lib/mysql/dbname/*.MYI

First try to connect to Mysql server using the command line
mysql -uUsername -p and press enter.This will prompt for password.Enter the mysql server password.
Then use the mysqlcheck command to repair the server in case corruption has occured
COmmand for mysql-check : mysqlcheck --repair --use-frm --all-databases
I think you can just copy the folders of the database to create a backup of MySQL databases.
Used to work.
