Hello I installed Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS on a fresh box. This automatically also installed MySQL 5.5.29.
I installed percona-xtrabackup-2.0.6-521.tar.gz and put the files in /usr/bin.
But innobackupex is giving an error: “sh: 1: xtrabackup\_55: not found”

david@server1:/usr/bin$ sudo innobackupex --user=root --password=123 /home/david/dbb/

IMPORTANT: Please check that the backup run completes successfully.
At the end of a successful backup run innobackupex
prints “completed OK!”.

The files are present and executable:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12699861 Mar 19 14:15 xtrabackup\_55
david@server1:/usr/bin$
* * *
Path is correct:
david@server1:/usr/bin$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin :/usr/games
* * *
I get the same results if I run
```
innobackupex
./innobackupex
sudo innobackupex
sudo ./innobackupex
```
* * *
Any ideas?

Maybe the problem is not related but I would like to start debugging this error message:
innobackupex: fatal error: no ‘mysqld’ group in MySQL options
Where is your my.cnf located? Can you share it?
Thanks
