CMS Made Simple Forums

SOLVED - What I finally discovered is that in order to recover my data from my .gz backup (not created by CMSMS), I needed to drop all of my tables and let phpMyAdmin recreate them.


Original Question:

I updated a site from 1.4 to 1.5.1 and did an install in error rather than an upgrade, so the data was wiped out, and the tables rebuilt.

I uploaded all the tables from a backup (Yes I had one!), and have confirmed that the data actaully exists thru phpMyAdmin, but now the site does not recognize the data, rather it shows the default data of a new installation.

I tried then running upgrade.php which went thru ok, but still no data pulled.

The site is at: http://69.13.130.115 - Fortunately the site had not yet gone live - but it was almost done!

Any thoughts as to reconnect the data?

Thanks.

Hi,

If you see the wrong data, it looks that you have the wrong database settings in config.php. When you look in phpmyadmin, do you see two databases? And if so, did you connect to the wright one?

If that is not the solution, delete the database completely and restore your database again. Before you restore you should delete the old one anyway. Once deleted it's impossible to see the wrong one, i guess.
