are you using php artisan serve as your webserver?

Yes. http://127.0.0.1:8000

Level 122

Thats your problem. the php internal webserver can only deal with a single request. Calling Artisan from within that request results in a hang whilst it waits for a second connection.

May be you didn't get my point. let me clear it to you.

Actually I have developed an application. And I want to take backup from my Super Admin section.

And that's why I need to do that. So I can create new backup by clicking on the button. @snapey

But other commands are working fine.

/**
     * Create New Backup
     */
    public function create()
    {
        Artisan::call('backup:run');
        
        toast('New Backup created successfully.', 'success')->autoClose(2000)->timerProgressBar();
        return redirect()->back();
    }

@nikhil_lu210 You can get the error message by using this

Route::get('/backup', function (Request $request) { Artisan::call('backup:run'); return Artisan::output(); });

Try running the command like this:

Artisan::queue('backup:run', ['--only-db' => true]);

And don't forget to run the command in queue mode:

php artisan queue:work

Try to check the output of artisan after you run it ->

Artisan::call('backup:run');
dd(Artisan::output());

And see what is the issue.

@codelone might be related to permissions. When you run from the command line, you are executing mysqldump as yourself. When running from the application, you are running mysqldump as your web server user

@codelone I did test it, it is working as expected, but now i see that you are using a really old version of package on windows, first upgrade to the latest version, add mysql path in environment variables of windows, also try disabling UAC

@Snapey that is the most common problem in linux, I don't know if the same thing will happen in windows
