Restoring Deleted Files

    I posted on this a week ago and never got it resolved but I have a different idea this time.

    The Problem – I accidental deleted via ftp all of my blog files but apparently the db is still there but for some reason when I enter the db & user name (as listed in MySQL), it says the user/db name/password isn’t correct.

    A couple of months ago I moved my blog from one server to another. I still have the .sql file on my hard drive. Am I correct in believing that I could use this file, give it a different name from the existing db, and upload it to restore my blog? Would that likely be a good solution to this problem? If so, how do I do this? It’s been a while and I can’t remember exactly how I did it before?

    thanks in advance for your help.

    If you just moved to another server, and have the same domain name, use this guide here.

    If you moved to another server, and have a NEW domain name, use this guide here then.

    If you need help getting back your database user and pass, have you tried maybe contacting your host for it? Good luck.

    /Sidenote: Start backing up ALL of your files from the FTP and even the database, on a regular basis.. k 😉
