Trying to export Joomla database without phpmyadmin

[stoxic]

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.

Perhaps try contacting the host?

Just in case...

You obfuscate the other settings but possibly not the host name. You also mention retrieving only three of the four fields (leaving out host name).

You got the actual hostname from the link below (or the script) right?
