Lyndon Victor Irvine

Hi,

I'm Lyndon. relatively new to Internet marketing.

I think I made like the biggest error in the world.
I accidentally deleted my database for my main
site which is a word press theme I'm using called
One Theme.

I logged into the server and added the database gain but
when i tried to access the site I got the WP install
/wp-admin/install.php

The files are still on the site, what i deleted was the database
so I thought when I replaced the database again with the same
info in the wp-config.php that It would be rectified.

Alas it wasn't

I would greatly appreciate any assistance anyone can give
me or advice as I'm completely stumped as to what my next
move should be.

Thanks

warmest regards

Lyndon

OUCH.

Sounds like you need to talk to your host and get your server turned back a couple days to before you deleted the database.

They should do it absolutely free for you. Most will.

Just ask about getting the server restored.

Lyndon Victor Irvine

Hi Scheda,

Thanks for the response.

Can I ask another question?

What will happen to the sites I made changes to
like this morning? Will I have to do them over?
I mean redo all the changes I made today
when the server is turned back?

Thanks

Chris Ramsey

Some hosts let you make changes to specific domains.

I use Dreamhost, and they allow that.

If they don't allow that... then yes, you'll have to do that again.

Lyndon Victor Irvine

Thanks a lot.

I will contact the host and see if I can have this done
on just one domain.

I use Cirtex.

Thanks again.

You have been most helpful.

Warmest Regards

Hi Johnny,

Thanks a lot.

i finally got a reply from my host
just now.

This is what they said:

Hi,

We have check with your main domain "Netsuccessprofits.com" and the database was empty. Could you please import the database or else upload the database under "/home/breascom/public_html"
So that we will restore for you then with out problem your site will work.


mysql> use breascom_wrdp3;
Database changed
mysql> show tables;
Empty set (0.02 sec)

They might as well have spoken greek to me.

Dont know what they really want me to do.

How do i find the database.

the files are on the server.

but how do i get access to the database if
I accidentally deleted it.

I think they didn't get what i said to them
or maybe i'm not understanding.

Lyndon Victor Irvine

Hi all.

I got it back.

They gave me an older backup.
And i have to do some work to
bring the site back to the way it
was before with the updates I
had previously.

But at least its back.
That I am very thankful for.

Thanks for the help in figuring out
which route to take.

Warm Regards

Lyndon

Hi, you might also want to get in the habit of keeping a local backup as well. I had a client who also deleted his database and his host no longer had any backups. Your host can help you set up a "cron" job as well that will help you regularly backup your databases more regularly than what the host will do by default.

Lyndon Victor Irvine

Hi Yosis,

Thanks for the advice.

That's a great idea.

Will get on their backs now to
get that cron running for me

Thanks again
