Basically i went to http://www.extendcp.com/ to change some stuff on my site and i accidently deleted a SQL Database. now my site www.footballkitsonline.com wont load and if i go to http://www.footballkitsonline.com/wp-admin/ i get an error message 'Error establishing a database connection' Is there anything i can do? Someone suggested reinstalling wordpress. Thanks
Do you have backup of your SQL DB in your pc as its always advisable to take backup of your DB time to time. DON.
Ive got backups of the other 4 database's but not the one i deleted. Is reinstalling wordpress the only way to go?
yes mate sadly your back to square one.. maybe contact your hosting company if you have lost a lot of data / posts or articles, They also do big backups but may get annoyed sorting through them to pull out your site, my friend did the same, but was very valuable data so he was charged $20- to recover it.
Hi, First contact your hosting company to see if they made regular backups. In normal conditions if you are working with mySQL, there exist binary logs where all transactions are stored in case of accidents for recovery. You may find useful reading this: http://community.eapps.com/showthread.php?p=351#post351 where I indicate steps to do in those cases. Note: this will help to recover data, not the definition of the database itself (you will have to recreate the tables, views, constraints, etc., etc.) Good luck
