Description of my issue:
Hi. I'm trying to troubleshoot my backup situation. Everything works fine if I just backup my Joomla. But, if I add an extra database definition, the newly added database gets backed up just fine, but Joomla does not.
I do get this error in the php logs:
[130204 16:42:33] PHP WARNING on line 314 in file <root>/administrator/components/com_akeeba/akeeba/drivers/mysqli.php:
[130204 16:42:33] mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given
Not sure if that's what is causing the problem. As far as I know, both databases are mysqli. The extra database that I'm trying to backup is Anahita (anahitapolis.com). The settings for database type in my joomla config is set to mysqli.
I have attached a copy of two akeeba backup logs, one which shows the successful backup of the joomla db when no extra db definition is set. The other is the log from when the extra db definition is set and the joomla db fails to backup. I'd appreciate any pointers. Thanks.
