Can't restore backup. Emergency!

[vidiot]

I had a problem with a contrib and wanted to restore the backup that I made immediately prior to starting it. So, after backing up THAT configuration, I went to restore the previous backup from the server.

 

All of a sudden things crash, and now it appears to be without any "brains" :angry: If you go to my home page, it gives this error:

 

1146 - Table 'cartinfo.configuration' doesn't exist

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

Can anybody tell me what is going on and how I can restore my backup? :blush:

 

Thanks.

Don't take this the wrong way - but are you sure you're trying to restore from the correct backup? Also, when you say 'backup' do you just mean the database backup, or a whole site backup?

if you had made a contribution change to the code, restoring a backup over the top, you need to restore the code too.

Agree with Mibble, you have to undo the code. You must have a file trying to reference Table 'cartinfo.configuration'. Undo all the contrib file edits.

Thanks, guys!

 

I ended up Downloading my backups from the site to my computer. Then, I went into my PHPadmin and executed the backups with the import function.

 

And, yes, Mibble you are right. I will have to undo my mods. However, I renamed the files I was about to change to something else and then uploaded the modded files. So, I have the originals! :shifty: Now, if only I could remember which ones I changed for this mod! :sweating:

 

All this is a very good case for a test shop. I think I will create one tomorrow.

 

Thanks for your help!

Just go through the install readme backwards, everything that it says "change this" just go and change it back.
