     Easiest method, from the command line on the server from which you

want to dump the database:

         mysqldump -u user -p database_name>   outfile.sql

Command is wrong... should be:

    mysqldump -u user -p password database_name>  outfile.sql

I did catch that, but did not correct it in my post (considering it was a direct quote). -------

Actually, mysqldump -u user -p password database_name> outfile.sql is also the incorrect command. When providing the password in the command, there should not be a space between the "-p" and the actual password. Try mysqldump -u user -ppassword database_name> outfile.sql and see if that gets you anywhere.

That's actually funny... I never put spaces in for the user or password when using the short parameter method and had quickly tried with the space before posting... I had tried with the user though and it work so I had assumed it worked for password also.
