title: Backup DB from MYSQL command prompt
body: <p>I recently tried to put my web application and mysql database on the same virtual server. Now I receive a port error. In order to fix the port issue, I want to back up the database and reinstall WAMP. Since I can't get to the phymyadmin, I have to use the mysql command prompt to do a dump.</p>
  
  <p>Would anyone happen to know the EXACT command to put in, if my username is root, I have no password, and the database name is dev? I've tried it multiple ways and I get an error saying that my syntax is wrong.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
