Problems with site after back up!

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

I have just exported my database via phpMyAdmin as described in a zencart tutorial, but now my website is not accessible.

It may be a coincidence but I think not!

Anyone who thinks they may be able to help, please click **HERE** and look at the message I'm getting...

Thanks

Backing up the DB should not produce this

Double check in phpmyadmin that the DB is populated with approx 93 tables

Thanks for replying Kobra...

My database is populated with 187 tables. Does this sound like a problem?

I don't know whether it makes any difference, but when I did the back up, I followed the instructions in a zencart tutorial to the letter which meant changing the file name template from SERVER to DB as per the tutorial...

Re: Problems with site after back up!

Did you change the name, database user or password?

I did change the password for my database admin login just prior to making the backup....

Thanks Kim

I have changed the password back to what it was and I can now access my site...

Does this mean I can't change this password ever again?

Regards

Re: Problems with site after back up!

You can change your password, but you will need to change it in your Zen Cart configure files, otherwise you you can not access the Database.
