Hi,

I'm having problems with my forum database backup system. When I try to do a complete backup I get a 500 Internal Server Error. PowWeb told me to download a client from www.mysql.com and so I went there and downloaded it but I have absolutely no idea what to do from here. Can anyone help me? I just need to know how to backup my database that I am running on MySQL.

I just export the data...using the 'export' tab with phpmyadmin.

So if there is a problem...I can just import it again to the database.

How are you trying to backup your database??

You can't export the data using phpmyadmin??

Nope,

I can't export the data using phpmyadmin because i got the same internal 500 server error after a while... I export all tables and i save them as one file, i dont have any of the other boxes checked, and my database size is about 4 megs. Can you think of a way around this?
