[resolved] Restoring Instalation from a DB Backup (3 posts)

    I had an error during a host transition and my 2.7 WP installation was lost. Luckily I made a habit of keeping a backup of both my database, uploads, and themes. Since config file was lost and I can't go through the standard upgrade.php.

    How would I go about exactly re-installing, upgrading, and restoring my WP?

    It shouldn't be too difficult

    Download the 2.7 files from the release archive

    Upload the files, uploads, theme, plugins

    Recreate the wp-config.php - put in the db connection details etc.

    Once you have it working, do the upgrade as normal.

    Thanks that was relativly painless.
