HELP!!

I tried to do a backup and the psadump utility shut everything down! How do I get everything back up again? Httpd, everything, all down! Gone!

Here's what happened:

[root@sv12 root]# /usr/local/psa/bin/psadump -f /root/psa_backup/backup-01-09-20
05

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

Attempt to connect to MySQL server ... done

Checking packages installation ... done

Now all the PSA services will be stopped:

How do I get everything started again??
 
service psa start

You guys would be hopeless in an emergency! :)

Could anyone offer any advice as to why the backup failed?
