Urgent help needed. Database of PRdir.org ruined when upgading to phplb 1.4

Edit: prob solved.

Advice is really appreciated.

Today when I upgrade my bidding directory www.prdir.org to version 1.4, the database was destroyed and I don't have backup. I learned a serious lesson.

I have never get prob when upgrade my directories with phpld script. During the install, it warned me : "it will delete old data", I didn't think it means database.

I am contacting the host company to see if they can restore.

For those have listings in my prdir.org, please don't feel panic. I will try my best to restore them. At least I can use google cache to restore them

Refund is the last thing.

 

Contact mikey1090 via pm He is guy to do it for you.

 

Well if you do not have old database backup not sure how you can recover it from scratch.

But from the error on your site, seems like template issue to me, just swtich to default template.


Can you login to admin panel and see listing if so nothing is lost.

 

Looks like a template issue to me as well - switch to the default template in admin and see what happens.

 

Same trouble my bid directory urlindexing.com. my host company all data restore i pay $30 so no tension contact your hosting company.

 

I think I can help you... I will start to work on it and let you know with a preview site.

 

If you haven't solved this issue, you may contact me

Thanks for all kind replies. The most important thing now is to restore the database and all listings.
I may not want upgrade to 1.4 after this accident.

 

xc60, are you able to access the adminCP? If you are, make sure that the template assigned is the default template, and if you had a template from 1.2 you'll have to modify it for the new release, 1.4.

The error showing

is a template error. This can easily be fixed. Switch to the default template until you can get your template upgraded. Upgrading the template is not that hard at all.

 

I see your working on it, let me know if you still need help, I have all your links back, you just need to edit email address's, otherwise I would have to destroy that database.

 

Thanks for posting back that you got it fixed

 

Finally the database was restored. I won't upgrade to 1.4 at this moment.

Thank you guys!

 

It is amazing that you can retrieve the data from your side. How did you do it?

I finally find the system backup to complete the restore. But thanks a lot for your offer.

 

Trade secret your back now anyway thats what matters.

 

Its actually a matter of grave concern, are you hacking phplink bid directories or maybe there are loopholes.

Please explain how you have the users backup otherwise it's going to be really grave concern for all phplink bid users.

 

Yeah I'm hacking databases that don't exist, anyway its not important now and no I don't know of any loopholes

 

There are applications that can do this, take for example, if you delete a file from your PC and wish to restore it there are softwares that can help you restore it.

It will always be important so the maker of script can be alerted of possible hacking !!
