WHY WHY WHY, it always happens like this. I do backups of my db once every few days, never ONCE encountered a problem. Well, tonight, I announced to everyone I was moving to our new dedicated server at midnight.
So, I closed the forums, went into SSH and typed my typical mysqldump command.. and get this!!!!
code:
mysqldump: Out of memory (Needed 8164 bytes)
mysqldump: Got error: 2008: MySQL client run out of memory when retrieving data from server
AHHH!!!!! I should have been already live and on my new server, but this all of a sudden happens. Never once in over a year seen this problem, and of course it happens at the worst possible time.
So, just wondering, will this go away when the server starts using less ram, or is it one of those things the server may need a reboot to free everything up? Last time a server with this host crashed they disabled my database saying it was my fault! I just want to get my DB off from their server and run, I'm sick of this crap.
