I’m trying to dump my SQL datbase, and I keep getting the following error:
mysqldump: Got error: 1045: Access denied for user ‘root’@‘localhost’ (using password: YES) when trying to connect
I’m using the following command to do this: root@applewildschool:~# mysqldump -u root -p applewild > applewild.sql
What am I doing wrong?
