Nikos121 0 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I deleted by mistake the Forums application, and when I reinstated it all my previous forums' structure had gone. I believe I have an .sql database somewhere saved, since the forum hasn't been updated for a while. How I go about restoring the old forums from an older database? Or, if I have to, how do I restore the complete website.... ? Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonsonokee 16 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 do you have the "files backup" and the .sql backup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikos121 0 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Yes I have both. But when i Changed the configuration file credentials to point to a new database created with the backup it showed all the previous forums, but with gibberish titles. hm. I might have to upgrade to a newer version to have support. any thoughts? Is there a manual somewhere? thanks for your reply, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
