restoing the DB

[ICELED]

Hey all,

1 of my sites I did a big forum upgrade that went wrong. now I aint the best of webmasters really, and have never restored a database.. I just need to take it back to how it was before I did this upgrade and it all went wrong.. I have restored the files system through ops already but dont know how to do it through phpmyadmin.

any help would be great as I want to get my site back up and running ASAP..

cheers

How big is the backup file?

If it's a reasonable size - less than 2MB maybe, you should be able to restore it by clicking on the SQL tab in PHPMyAdmin (top left in left pane). Click Import Files and you can browse to your local hard drive to find the file.

If it times out for some reason, I have an online restore utility you can use. PM me for details if needed.

its ok now... for some reason everything I tried I couldnt get the tables to come back to life and there would be errors... but managed to get 1 of the technical staff to do it for me at there end and is all good... now just have to get the rest of my site backup and running..

cheers
