Guest Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I had just completed installing osCommerce and loading all my products when somehow a website update from FrontPage deleted the contents of the catalog directory. :o Is my content still stored in the db? Images? I used the default locations for these for the install. When I go to re-install the base package what should I watch for to make sure that the data I have stored in mySQL stays intact? Thanks, Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIMBLE Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 If the configure files are still there. admin / includes / configure.php and catalog / includes / configure.php All you really need do is on the site you want to upload, delete the install folder and the two configure.php files. Then upload and it will not require any install the configure files are already in place Nic Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIMBLE Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 OK go into your Web Site control panel, phpmyadmin and download your database to your desktop. Add DROP TABLE / VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION Add IF NOT EXISTS Add AUTO_INCREMENT value Enclose table and field names with backquotes next to the above there will be a checkbox, make sure it is checked Install the store, as usual then restore the backed up database Sometimes you're the dog and sometimes the lamp post [/url] My Contributions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ftp the catalog folder, run the install and import the database from the dabase.sql script tonight...wish me luck!! If this works I guess I'll just have to ftp my images back to where they should belong. Thanks FIMBLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
