Need True Xoops Expert...

So... I screwed up my XOOPS website trying to upgrade to upgrade to 2.2 While attempting a recovery my webserver company crashed and burned and I've had to completely start over.

That being said, I had created a back up of my SQL database shortly before the fall.

I would like to recover 3 things from this database:

1.) My user/passwords list
2.) Past articles written
3.) Forum History

I would think recovering the username/password file would be the easiest since I didn't make any changes to the format or structure of them.

The old articles were written using the "news" module, which I have jetison in the rebuild instead going with "article" module. I also have changed the catogory descriptions, so I'm assuming this isn't going to be an easy recovery... any ideas ?

Lastly.. the forum (while still the default XOOPS newbb) I've completely changed the forum names... any chance of recovery here ?

Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated !

Why don´t you reinstall XOOPS 2.0.xx you had before. Then the modules you had. Restore the database and then try again updatig to 2.2?
Sorry, this signature is experiencing technical difficulties. We will return you to the sheduled signature as soon as possible ...

Bender.. I thought about doing that, but a couple of attempts at that failed and I couldn't keep the site down any longer.. so we went with a Plan B.

Since I'm committed to Plan B, I need help now getting that to work, if possible.

Do you have the original database before you upgraded?
Which version of XOOPS did you have before you tried to update?
Did you make any core hacks?

What do you mean screwed site up, what was the problem?


If you do have the original database (and you should) try to restore just the database and do the upgrade process again, you shouldn't have to change the files back as you would have to overwrite them anyway.

I did not use any hacks.. all straight modules.

I backed up both the sql database and a copy of the site.

I had upgraded to 2.2.. I'm back on 2.0.9.2

What I mean by screwing up my website..

I had all my websites on individual servers with indivdual accounts.

I decided to consolidate them all onto one account.. when I did that, I had to give each domain a unique adminstrator name, since I couldn't use the same name on each account on the same server.

Since the XOOPS database names its dbs based on the administrators name, XOOPS couldn't see them anymore and they no longer worked.

I had to uninstall XOOPS and then reinstall.. when I did that, it wiped out my website.

I didn't have time to try to find a fix, so I just started building all over.. which I have done.

But I'd like to get back some of the archives of stuff I can't recreate..

What I meant about hacks was the XOOPS core not the modules.

First I don't think you can upgrade to 2.2 from 2.0.9.2
I believe it needs to be 2.0.10 or greater.

As far as the moving to one account I don't know if I follow you. What kind of account. I don't think I understand that part.

If you have the original database then you should have all of your old data. you should be able to restore your old site the way it was.
