I don’t want to empty out the database as I’d lose all the posts that have been made

I haven’t installed any themes or plugins on the new reinstallation as I can’t even access wp-admin!

As for VevisoEnterprise, a typo is there (left a one off):

(which IS only a few hours before my problems, but yes… I do get your point that if it is a bug/core issue then you’d see many more, however I still think it is a somewhat odd coincidence)

next time you want to use FTP just look for a different ftp client

for instance I use the fireftp plugin for firefox

which as it works via firefox it will work just sweet on a Mac too ??

getting very worrying as I’ve now found a total of FOUR people have written about more or less exactly the same problem, all in the space of just a few hours:

I’ve decided to delete everything on the webserver and and replace it with a fresh wordpress download

hopefully this will work? will only need to reupload the a few themes and put back the google analytics code

that is if I keep my fingers crossed the mysql database is fine and won’t need to be fixed, as that is holding all the posts in it :s

=========================

update: I’ve done a completely clean reinstall from a wordpress downloaded off this site only a few minutes ago, yet still I’m getting everything as completely blank!

cheers! but after I tried that…. I got this (with H1 markup!) at mysite.com:

Error establishing a database connection

==============
edit: I’m a moron! Of course it couldn’t establish a DB connection as I changed the mysql password :s

But once I fixed that in the configure file it still doesn’t work
