i need to start over and need to get my database i lost access to everything except console, putty, and filezilla is there a way through the command line to retrieve my databases.
You can backup your database with mysqldump command. You should find detailed instructions on the mysql homepage or when you google the ommand.
This will backup the ispconfig database from command line and place it in the tmp directory: mysqldump dbispconfig -u {MYSQLUSER} -p {MYSQLPASSWORD} > /tmp/dbispconfig.sql replace {MYSQLUSER} with username and {MYSQLPASSWORD} with password.
