backup:run command throws generic error: ''mysqldump" is not recognized as an internal or external command

1.1k views Asked by At

I would like to inform you that I have already looked at this problem. Most of the Answers suggested that I should correct the absolute path in config/database.php and I did, yet the problem remained. I am pasting portions of my config and backup file That I created from Laravel Spatie DB Backup here. Thanks.

Config/database.php:

'mysql' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', 'localhost'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', ''),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', ''),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
            'dump' => [
                'use_single_transaction',
                'dump_command_path' =>'E:\xampp\mysql\bin',//That's the location of mysqldump in my PC
                'timeout' => 5,
                'dump_command_timeout' => 60,
            ],
        ],

and My backup file:

add the entry below on your config/database.php under 'driver' => 'mysql'

'dump' => [ 'dump_binary_path' => 'C:/Program Files/MySQL/MySQL Server 5.7/bin'],
