When I got up this morning and checked my web site at Mac20 Questions I found a message telling me that it was unable to connect to the database. The whole of WordPress works off a MySQL database,in case you didn’t know. Yesterday evening it was working fine and no problems. I have no idea what could have happened but I was really glad of having a backup. I use a Database back up tool plugin that sends me by email every day the database zipped up to my gmail account. Worth its weight in gold this morning.
I was able to open up Cyberduck ,my FTP application and upload the database to the correct folder and it appeared in the Godaddy account MySQL page for restoring from. Really easy to do and a total life saver.
Don’t forget that you can get 10% discount off your order at Godaddy when you use the code POD146
