Samboll,

I am impressed and humbled by your prompt, thoughtful reply. If you’re ever passing through Iowa City, I’ll buy you a beer.

I think something was screwy at GoDaddy. I went to bed last night with my original database imported, but still getting the “cannot establish database connection” error. I was planning to follow your advice this morning.

This morning, to my surprise, my website was working fine.

I tried uploading my fixed sql file, the one with garbage characters removed, and now that’s working.

I didn’t do anything that I haven’t been trying for the past two days.

I don’t know what the deal is, but I’m glad to be up again.
