In chapter 9, on page 224, the author wants you to perform a backup of the publications database by performing a mysqldump command. The problem is the program requires a user and password combination. The author says to use the user that was set up when you installed Zend. The only problem with that is, the installation of Zend involved creating a password, but not a user. When was I supposed to create a user and how might I find out what that user was?

Found the answer. You were supposed to make a user earlier in the chapter 8 and give it access to the publications directory. The text says to use a username made on installation of Zend, which is flat out wrong because there is not Zend user name. Use the user you created in chapter 8, not the one from your "installation of MySQL".

I you are constantly getting an "access is denied" message when trying to back up your publications to an actual .sql file, your computer may have an overzelous security system like mine. Just write the .sql file in a user folder rather than in an area of My Programs or the c drive.
