On my Default Profile Settings under Source states Missing (Default Database) can not under stand why it worked until recently

Can you please help?

I had the same issue on a bitnami drupal stack site, where the unix socket file is defined in settings.php.
Fixed by making a sym link from the default location (/tmp/mysql.sock) to the one defined in settings.php

Maybe backup_migrate is not checking for the non-standard socket file location in the databases array?

By the way, this is an indespensible and highly-loved module! We all sleep better because of your work. Thanks!

Same issue here.

The 2.5 version works, the 2.7 doesn't. So I think it's a backup and migrate issue only.

I'm consolidating the missing db issues in 2.7 to this issue: #1999410: Could not run backup because the source 'db' is missing.. There's a patch there to try out.

Thanks

Thanks for all your comments i fixed the problem and for all those who have the same problem here is what i did.

1. Make sure you have an download from your control panel the data base PHPMyAdmin or an old data base from Backup and Migrate.

2. Download sites folder from your drupal installation

3. Delete data base and drupal installation

4. Install new database and drupal installation

5. Check that source 'db' is NOT missing

6. Restore data base

7. Upload sites folder

That's it should now have Fixed the problem have fun

Regards,

Colin
