Several years ago, ASA set up a WOWBB message board (see http://members.asanet.org/forums/). The person who set it up for us (it's hosted on an external server at our database company) is long gone. She used WOWBB. As you can see, it is dead. (The only posts that are ever made these days are about cash for gold and video games--not related to sociology. I delete those as the admin.) We are going to shut them down, but I want to do a backup of the content before doing that. It's certainly not a lot of content, but when I try to backup the database from the admin panel, I end up with a .sql file that's about 800 BYTES.
The entire content of the file is below. (There's a password that I've replaced with asterisks--but it's not even a password I recognize, so I don't know what it is.) Can anyone help me with why this isn't working? Thank you so much:
