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

I don't think I have enough details to help you with your first question.

With regards to your second question: Exporting MySQL database from XAMPP. You basically can do an export in the command line now and then just import the same sql file later, when you reinstall xamp, for example.

Hope this helps.
