My dog ate MySQL please help!

[medragon]

MySQL is gone, yes gone! I called my sever and they said yeah, it was gone and had no reason for it being gone.
I hadn't done a back up and really didn't know how.
Now I know how to make a back up, too little too late.

So here is my question.
When I go to the phpMyAdmin I can see these databases
Catalogs
MySql
phpMyAdmin
ect...

Okay, I'll admit it, I don't know what the heck to do to create a new a new database to make the zencart work.

Some direction, anything at this point would help.

Does your host not have any backups of your server space? Good hosts keep regular backups.

[medragon]

No! they have screen shots and backups of everything else, but I guess I am supose to make backups of the database myself, or set up how often it should do backups.

I wasn't really that far in, so I'm not all that worried about the data that I lost at this point as I am about setting it back up so that I can at least access my cart.

This page: http://www.beadedpatterns.com/home
and the http://www.beadedpatterns.com/home/admin
that I have renamed.

I'm at the point of do I reload phpMyAdmin?
Will that start it up again?

Sounds like it's time to do a fresh install.
The documentation is in the /docs/ folder of your Zen Cart files, or can be read online: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=107

Thanks Dr.

That's where I'm headed.
I'm going to put a listing in the Comercial Help Wanted.'

I'd love it if you were interested!!
