Could you help me (please) Something terrible happened to me: I took it upon my head to help my friend. In general, he found for himself not a bad Joomla template and decided to try it on his already finished website - he didn’t work and then he turned to me (to the fool!). In general, I could not install the template, and then I decided that it would be possible to simply assign another website with its template to this new website temporarily on a virtual host (Denver) and did so. Pointed out on the new site, in the joomla settings, the database from the old, already finished site (I just wanted to look at this template in full glory - it was empty, empty, it was not at all what). Well, after all this procedure, I looked at the result - the new site remained the same empty. Well, I decided now what to do, it did not work out that way. After some time, I decided to enter the admin Joomla on the old site and then the first problems started: I could not login, there was an error entering the password - I entered the name of the old site in the address bar, but for some reason it was completely empty, there was no menu or text information - only the cap and the nome button (how awful it is ..). The old site was ready, filled for almost three months - and now I killed him ... The problem had to be solved. It seemed to me that if I deleted Jumla with this new (damned) pattern, the problem would be solved. I deleted the folder with the new site, tried again to enter the admin panel of the site - and he still doesn’t let me in on the infection. I entered the login and password from the already remote site and "lo and behold!" and got into the admin area, but everything was different there, as before all these problems - everything was also lost there, there were no articles, no sections, no modules. I went to the general settings section to make sure that the old database is listed there - everything was right there. Probably they will kill me .. (What should I do - how can I get the database back? Help, please. I did not find solutions to such problems on the Internet. Hope for you and one more person, but I cannot contact him yet. Help good people.

  • Stop, I'm confused. And where hung? And better skinte on darikapiterski@mail.ru all the data, try to help. For the future, do a database dump before similar experiments. - Darika

Write your story in support of the hosting and ask for a site dump for yesterday-the day before yesterday, 99% that it is saved (otherwise we change the hosting provider for the future). Be sure to indicate that you need a dump of both the database and files. When you receive - upload files, update the database and the site will be yesterday. To restore the database mysql very much in Google.

So, you are fabulously lucky =) We look at the links:

And we act on any proposed method. The phpMyAdmin in Denver is located at http://localhost/Tools/phpMyAdmin

ZY: but you on yourself understood why full backups of databases are made)

  • So this is the whole thing on my local machine - sveta
  • Oh) No matter how I had to use data recovery. Joomla which version? Table prefixes like the old and the "new" (the same or not)? + Find phpmyadmin (it is in Denver) and try to see from there what is left in your database. For the most part, you are interested in whether you have a single table {PREFIX} _content and what is inside it. And, oh, look in the database, are there any 'bak _....' tables, if they exist, they will save you) - Sh4dow

    And stop, are you sure that the working site of a friend is on your local machine? .. - Sh4dow
  • Joomla version 1.5.14 I don’t know about the tables, the database prefix of the old jos_ and the new one (which I deleted) jos_ I have access to the database - it has tables' bak _.... only I don’t understand - I have phpmyadmin in denver three files: phpmyadmin.css.php, phpMyAdmin.spec, phpMyAdmin-http.conf - sveta
