hi
I did the following
-
downloaded - http://www.percona.com/redir/downloads/XtraBackup/XtraBackup -1.6/Windows-alpha/64bit/xtrabackup-1.6.64bit.zip
-
environment- windows server 2008 R2 Datacenter, 64Bit operating system, Active pearl 5.12.4.1205
3 Execute Innobackupex - $ “C:/Program Files/xtrabackup-1.6.64bit/innobackupex.pl” --defaults-file=“C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQLInstance2/my.ini” --user=root --password=admin D:/Xtrabackup/13306_1
- response - Invalid version format (non-numeric data) at C:/Program Files/xtrabackup-1.6.64bit/innobackupex.pl line 1780.
Line 1780
check the version of the perl we are running
if (!defined $^V) {
this perl is prior to 5.6.0 and uses old style version string
my $required_version = $required_perl_version_old_style;
if ($] lt $required_version) {
print STDERR "$prefix Warning: " .
“Your perl is too old! Innobackup requires\n”;
print STDERR “$prefix Warning: perl $required_version or newer!\n”;
}
} else {
$perl_version = chr($required_perl_version[0])
. chr($required_perl_version[1])
. chr($required_perl_version[2]);
if ($^V lt $perl_version) {
my $version = chr(48 + $required_perl_version[0])
. “.” . chr(48 + $required_perl_version[1])
. “.” . chr(48 + $required_perl_version[2]);
print STDERR "$prefix Warning: " .
“Your perl is too old! Innobackup requires\n”;
print STDERR “$prefix Warning: perl $version or newer!\n”;
}
}
Question
has anybody any idea as to what i should do? is there any known pearl version that works with the software on windows?
