Truncated table

[1sweetman]

Hi, I accidentally truncated ps_pagenotfound table (I thought I was in my test site).

 

is this going to cause any issues or is it advisable to restore db from yesterdays backup.

 

Regards

Did you delete the whole table or just the contents of it? If you just emptied it, no it won't cause any problems. I will just erase stats from the page not found module.

Hi, no just the contents.

 

Thanks will do as you advise.

ps_pagenotfound table contains a kind of "log" where you can find informations about "page not found" page view in your shop.

Basically, when someone open your website, and see internal PS 404 page - details of this visit are stored in this table.

 

With this feature you can view who and when saw this page under stats > stats > page not found tab in your back office.

 

if you remove contents of this table, you will not see this log. nothing more.

 

but to be honest - it's worth to analyse this stat, sometimes you can find there useful informations about potential problems in your shop.
