KaoticSnow Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Ok I killed my admin dir, and I know it was stupid of me but i made no backups. how can I restore it? is it as simple as re-uploading the admin dir or is there some config files i have to edit as well any help would be greatly apreciated.
Guest Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 did you add any contributions to the site? did any of them get added to the admin? does your host make daily backups (i know i do for my customers, 3 times a day). if just generic then you can put the original there from the unzip and configure it properly.
OceanRanch Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 Mimble was 2 minutes quicker .... :lol: You should be able to just upload the admin directory. Add your security on the admin folder if you had any. Modify the admin/includes/configure.php settings to your site configuration. (Look at your catalog/includes/configure.php for most of those configuration values. HTH Tom
KaoticSnow Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 ok well I was trying to add the dhtml menues to my admin but it did not work so I am reverting back to the originals.
Guest Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 keep a copy of all your code locally, as well as a backup of your database. no sense in recreating things, when it takes only a few minutes to backup a database
KaoticSnow Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 i do usually but I'm at work and all my backups are at home I wanted to get this back up as soon as possable. anyway I got it back up I was thinkin it pulled the db info form the config file of the catalog I didnt realize that the admin dir had its own config file so i just tossed my db info and it works. thx for the help
KaoticSnow Posted April 9, 2004 Author Posted April 9, 2004 ok in my admin dir I get the following error at the top of the screen Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /homepages/44/d97025904/htdocs/catalog/catalog/images/ looks as if its trying to access a catalog dir within the catalog dir how do I fix this?
241 Posted April 9, 2004 Posted April 9, 2004 there will be a wrong path in the configure.php No longer giving free advice. Please place deposit in meter slot provided.
