Hi,

I was trying to install VirtuMart into Joomla. That time installation felled. After this I am not able access any of my applications on WAMP. I can see databases on PHPMYADMIN.

The error which I get is "Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL".

Please suggest me, what should I do.
Does WAMP provide facility to backup all the databases at once?

Thanks
Amit

Thank you. I found the export all option. I am using the WAMP 2.0. But I am not able to connect my database. Can anybody suggest me some solution for this.

Write now it is of yellow color. I check the services in service manager. It is showing mysql is starting and Apache is started. But still I can check the database through PHPMYADMIN.

Hi Steven,

I found the problem. SAFE_MODE was on for PHP. Now everything is working fine.

Thanks
Amit
