So, some backstory. I was working on a file upload script. But xampp wouldn't let me because it didn't have the permission (apparantly). So, I changed the permissions to (btw, I'm on a mac) everybody: read and write. But, after this, phpmyadmin stopped working. I changed back to everybody: read only. But still it wouldn't work.
From what I see, the permissions and such are all as it was before, when it worked. Yet, it wont work. This is starting to make me pretty pissed, to be honest. I have had similar problems before where mysql wont work. In my past, I have reinstalled xampp. But.. I have a pretty big database and I really dont want to lose it.
So now to the question, how could I possible make mysql work again? Or, if thats a no go, how can I save my database?
With kind regards
