Everthing was fine last night after I started to enter images and products. This morning I am receiving an "errror 2003 -- The server is not responding" when I go to example.com/phpmyadmin. This is a local installation so I guess my computer must be the server. when I attempt to go to the ZC screen. I receive a message " Sorrry, can't connect to the database."

If the database problem cannot be fixed, is there a way to put in a clean zencart database into the system without starting all over?
