Can't back up data
I just finished moving Links SQL to a wonderful new server and Host - wiredon.net.

Everything is working great, except I'm unable to back-up my data via Database - Import/Export. Here is the error I'm getting. Thanks, April

Import/Export

Import/Export



Please be patient, this can take a while...


A fatal error has occured:
255


Please enable debugging in setup for more details.

Just taking a stab here...

could be an improperly installed DBD module that could be causing the problem.

I would recommend search for MySQL error 255 via Google and you'll find quite a few references.

Buh Bye!

Hi Eliot,

The DBD module is fine as there are several copies of Links SQL already on this particular server (some using mod_perl and some not).

I suggested that April post her question here as I've never seen this error before so a staff member may be able to indicate the problem and then I can resolve the issue for April.

Paul,

Well, if you had taken the time to search Google, you would've come across a bunch of web pages that reference this error (not to mention in MySQL documents at their web site).

So, I was providing a suggestion and trying to help. So, don't belittle my attempt.
========================================
Buh Bye!

I wasn't belittling your attempt Smile ....that is one issue that we can eliminate as I know DBD::mysql and DBI are working fine so it was better to point that out than set April on the wrong track.

Well perhaps you could paste the references you found to help myself and April, if you are infact trying to help?

I had a damn good look, and I found squat.
