ok, well i got it working again(uninstall/reinstall) and now i have a new problem!(of course)
Using phpmyadmin I'm trying to use the query window to restore a table for my database. I've gotten all but one table restored without a problem so far, problem is this table is the largest(2.39mb) and it keeps timing out while uploading, which is really confusing cause i'm doing it over a 100Mbps LAN, even tried locally on the server using localhost. It just doesn't seem to want to process it. I've increased the max upload file size to 10mb and it will attempt now, but still always fails...Any ideas?
