cinderzilla Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 I've had to reinstall wordpress (but I backed up my DB first). Can someone point me to a tut on how to reinstall the DB? I'd hate to lose all of my posts Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 You just go back into cPanel where you made your back up and select to restore a DB. Browse your computer for the file and select it. If it fails, you can upload the file somewhere in your web space and open a ticket with the help desk and ask them to restore it for you.

cinderzilla Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Thank you I've tried importing it in phpmyadmin but it comes up with errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 How did you back it up? In cpanel > backup or PhpMyAdmin > Export Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinderzilla Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Actually did the backup in WP before it went bonkers on me (was something in the server as I had to open a tech ticket on that issue) but I'm very happy to say I was able to import my DB and its back. WOOHOO. Thanks for your help everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 You may find it easier to use cpanel > backup > download database (compressed) and then you can restore in the same place. And you may want to look at AutoMySQLBackup from sourceforge.net to have it emailed to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 What ever works. Glad you got it restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
