 * I haven’t changed the permalink structure at all. It’s whatever came preset in
   WP.
 * Wait…should I even be worrying about this if I don’t have custom permalinks?

 * Assuming it would regenerate, does that mean that the .htaccess file is part 
   of the database backup, or in with my WP files?
 * (I use the lovely DB Backup Plugin from Scott Merrill.)

 * Can’t see it in root…
 * Logged into my hosting manager, and found where I can view my files, and I don’t
   see it there either.
 * What sort of bad things could go wrong if I didn’t have a backup of this file
   handy?
 * (I know my server is Linux based, and the fun stuff provided by my host for the
   database is phpMyAdmin…)

 * I saw it immediately, my DB password was incorrect, as I changed it before backing
   up. Thanks so much, I’m up and running.

 * More Unfun!
 * I followed all the steps located here:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Upgrade_1.5.1.2_to_1.5.1.3](http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress#Upgrade_1.5.1.2_to_1.5.1.3)
 * After backing up all my files -and- database.
 * Now I get this nice little “error establishing a database” connection.
 * Since this occured immediately after I upgraded, I’m thinking its not a coinkydink.
   I’m relatively new to wordpress and am quite confused as to how to rectify this
   problem. I’ve tried to access my qp-config.php file and no matter what page I
   go to, I get that same little screen.

 * Perhaps mine is a silly question, but its worth asking. (At least to me.)
 * If I delete my wp-admin folder as instructed, will that cause me to lose my existing
   login information? Or, will I just zoom on through?
