Hi all,

I have a bit of strange question, and really need to solve it this way (so not by reinstalling the whole XOOPS system).

A hacker went in to the servers of my hosting and deleted a bunge of files from different clients... also: mine...

The MySQL is intact, only there is a problem: 80% of the files from my ftp-server are gone, and the only back-up i had left was from 2 months ago...

Last month i reinstalled XOOPS because of other problems, but the problem is: I installed it with another prefix...

So now i have brought all the missing files back to my server, but the prefix (i think) gives problems....

I only see a blanco page right now.

Is there a way to edit the prefix IN the XOOPS system? (so not in the MySQL database)

Thanks ;)

Re: prefix change

Yes,
1. Make your mainfile.php in the XOOPS root writeable
2. Download the mainfile.php
3. Edit the mainfile.php's line which defines XOOPS_DB_PREFIX to reflect the new prefix
4. Re-upload the changed mainfile.php
5. Set the mainfile.php as read-only for the webserver
"When you can flatten entire cities at a whim, a tendency towards quiet reflection and seeing-things-from-the-other-fellow's-point-of-view is seldom necessary."
