Hi ! I’m in trouble , when I download innobackupex and use it, “innobackupex-1.5.1: Error: Couldn’t run mysql: sh: mysql: command not found” I have installed 5 mysql on a server that running on different port. this is my mysql configuration "./configure ‘–prefix=/web/sns/mysql3301’ ‘–localstatedir=/web/sns/mysql3301/data’ ‘-with-unix-socket-path=/web/sns/mysql3301/data/mysql3301.so cket’ ‘–with-tcp-port=3301’ ‘–with-client-ldflags=-all-static’ ‘–with-mysqld-ldflags=-all-static’ ‘-?with-mysqld-user=mysql’ ‘–sysconfdir=/web/sns/mysql3301/’ ‘–enable-assembler’ ‘–with-extra-charsets=utf8,gb2312,gbk’ ‘-enable-th誶ead-safe-client’ ‘–with-big-tables’ '–with-plugins=innobase,innodb\_plugin,myisam,partition,heap ’ " I saw innobackupex script ,but the “my $config\_file” was commented. any idea ? thank you ! ---
