    [Forum] How to backup MySQL forum database using PhpMyAdmin?

    hi everyone,

    can someone advise me how should i backup my forum database using my access to PhpMyAdmin?

    i screwed up the forum while editing config.php to update my database user password change and now the forum's been down for the past 8 hours.
    see


    now i'm trying backup the database first to prevent any further losses/damages and it seems like PhpMyAdmin is the only way left.

    in PhpMyAdmin, i see these options,

    which one should i select (or not select?)



    using the settings ticked above, i clicked "go" to export but the downloaded file is only 4kb, so something is wrong. pls advise if you know what i did wrong...

    Your database is not selected! The information schema is.

    Go to the main page and click on your database, then click the export tab. You may be able to select the database right from this page using the menu on the left.
