Backup failed? Please help!

[Kjolebutikken]

Hi, I'm doing changes in my index.php file in catalog/includes/languages/norwegian/index.php. Wanted to delete the test text there and insert my own. Luckly I took backup first. I went back to admin and choosed the latest bacup and pressed" backup", but the site does not reconstruct. I get this message insted:

 

1146 - Table 'kjolebutikken_c.sessions' doesn't exist

 

select value from sessions where sesskey = 'e841726b32fa39afa03266ad9a8a33a4' and expiry > '1134232053'

 

[TEP STOP]

 

Can someone please help me correct this?

Making a backup of your catalog/includes/languages/norwegian/index.php file and using the 'Backup' utility are two different things. To backup the first simply means to make a copy of the file and save it somewhere for future use should you need it. The backup utility is for backing up the database and would have no direct effect on the code from your index.php file.

 

Also if you wanted to go back to a previous backup of your database you would choose the latest backup and click on "Restore".

 

Be well,

Tina

OK, I didn't save the index.php another place before changing in the code, but I have not changed much so I guess I can delete it, and upload the original file from my pc from when I downloaded the norwegian language pack? Will this work? Will I then be able to see my shop and admin tools again? Cause now I cannot open any of them.

If you replace your file with the original then you should be back to how it was before you made any changes

 

Backing up is one of the most important things you should do, you can make changes for quite ahwile without any problems and then one time it will bite you very very hard.

Thanks, I will try that.

I agree about the backup, that's why I used the backup fukction in admin, but I'm not sure I understand what needs to be taken backup off. I have the possibility to save files another place f.ex. I also can use the backup function in admin. Is there also a backup function in phpmyadmin?

 

I would appreciate if someone could tell me what I should do regarding backup and which functions to use. Is new to this:-))) Want to be sure I do it right before adding all my products.

 

Please enlighten me:-)))

The backup in the admin backs up your database only!!

 

It does not backup any of your files!!!

 

You must backup your files yourself before making any changes, it is best if you keep a complete current backup of your site on your local computer at all times.

you should be able to do an entire site backup via your hosting cpanel or even individual files...I can anyway, if you can't contact your host and tell them you need that functionality. HTH :thumbsup:

Hi, thank you all for good advices. Just spoke to my host, they only take backups for hardware reasons for their own. They do not offer backups to customers.

 

I tried to delete the index.php file and upload the original one, but I still get this errormessage when I try to open admin or my store:

 

1146 - Table 'kjolebutikken_c.sessions' doesn't exist

 

select value from sessions where sesskey = '7bf1290d13927895fe126ed5540f5e27' and expiry > '1134232656'

What can I do to get access to admin and my store again?

Heeeelp!!!!
