Hi,

I am trying to export my Joomla 1.5.23 mysql database. I have no phpmyadmin. I used several ways like this (http://faq.1and1.com/web_space__access/mysql/13.html) but I get an error message saying:

There was an error during export. Please check your values: 
MySQL Database Name:     HIDDEN 
MySQL User Name:     HIDDEN 
MySQL Password:  NOTSHOWN 
MySQL Host Name:    localhost 

I found my database information (username, password, database name) from the configuration.php file in Joomla's directory. I also tried the prefix in front of the Database's name.

Does anyone have any clue what the problem might be?

Thanks a lot for time and effort putting on this.

There's nothing wrong with the link that provide you how to export Joomla database.

Did you double check the username, password, database name correctly?

You can try this (it's a plugin/extension it's called Akeeba Backup Core):
