Restoring MySQL Fails
Symptom
Using the MySQL plug-in, a restore of any MySQL database is failing with:
Internal error: tried to read non-directory as directory
This happens with any combination of paths, alternate restore locations, etc.
CDP Server Stand Alone (Linux)
Version: 2.15.0 build 6935
Parallels Pro (Ensim) server
Cause
This error typically means that the database directory (/var/lib/mysql/database_name) is actually a symbolic link. Our normal file restore method knows how to work around this, but the MySQL module does not.
Resolution
The quick solution is to manually select the necessary tables and use the File Restore. The MySQL restore is simply automating that for you.
Contact R1Soft support to receive an alternate restore method that works in this case.
