Deleted Database

  • I’m a very, very, silly person. I accidentally deleted my database (I use the word accidentally to cover up my stupidity ?? )

    As an experiment I took the full site down via ftp and then tried to ftp the old site by uploading the backup I had. Unfortunately when I done all that I got only the Hello post that you would get when putting up a new blog.

    Is there anything I can do?

  • Looks like you reinstalled your wordpress and there no way to delete your database using ftp.

    so log in on your host sever and click on database icon and you will see that you still have your old database.

    All you need to do is change your database name, user name,password for database in wp-config.php that will bring your site back.

    You need to have the version you had with that database.

    govpatel thanks for the reply, unfortunately it was the database that was deleted. I had been trying something which just didn’t work out.

    Unfortunately the data base has gone, though the back-up of the wordpress that I was using is sitting on my hard drive.

    When the database got deleted I then deleted all the files on my domain in the vain hope that if I reinstalled wordpress with the back up material I could regain the old database, unfortunately that hasn’t worked.

    I have to accept that the data bas is gone but is there anyway from the backups I have on my hard drive that I can reclaim the files that were on the net. If there were I wouldn’t mind loading them up on an individual basis..

    Hopefully

    Hang about there is a database there here is what it looks like any hope? I notice there is little in it, I’m assuming that was created when I tried the upload mentioned above.
