PascalVG Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 First of all, BACKUP your database, just in case, and make sure you can restore. 2nd, does your host make backups?? Maybe they can help to restore anything. Would be the best option :-) If nothing helps... What you can do is install PS with a NEW database first, and then change the database in the config/settings.inc.php file define('_DB_SERVER_', 'localhost'); define('_DB_NAME_', '<your old database name>'); define('_DB_USER_', '<your old database user>'); define('_DB_PASSWD_', '<your old database password>'); define('_DB_PREFIX_', 'ps_'); I hope you know all this info. Especially the password... Anyone, does he need to change more than this?? Tokens, RIJNDAEL KEY etc?? My 2 cents, pascal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PascalVG Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Sometimes we learn the hard way... :[ Glad it's solved. Start making your own backups, also of your databases! (Keep a few 'older versions, don't overwrite your single one (every time keep the last 3 backups or so) Good luck with your shop! Pascal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
