Hi, I would like to make a backup of my database the stack initially created for me, however I cannot localise it. Is there a name by default or are there other ways of finding it. Your help is appreciated. Thank you Marbot

Hi,

You can use the “mysqldump” command from the command line or you can use the phpmyadmin application if you have selected during the installation.

Cheers.

Hi beltran, I would like to use phpmyadmin which is no problem. However I do not know the name of the database which was created during setup. I have the choice of 5 different databases. Which one is the standard name? Greets Marbot

The default name is bitnami_mediawiki or bitnami_(application) fro any application.

Uups, I think that I have a bigger problem then, since my phpmyadmin does not work with bitnami_mediawiki-application. However the name of the database is intuitive, which is good. I will try to work my way around with mysqldump. Let’s see. hope for the best Thank you and have a nice day. :-)
