vokf Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 All the major stuff is stored in a database - something which I hope wasn't deleted (or you/your host has a back-up of). The database is separate from the files. If you've got cPanel hosting, the full account backup will contain the database, but if you've just downloaded the files via FTP, you will have missed the database. Find out what hosting you have. Many people use "cPanel", as its easy to use and give the user a fair bit of control. Once we know what hosting system you use, we can offer better advice. Also, check your backup, there may be some SQL file in there somewhere. Open it in a text editor, and scan through, looking for one of your products. (It'll be surrounded by SQL commands). Also consider speaking to your host, they may have taken a back-up before re-installing cc. (I would!) Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gaybird Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I am not sure what hosting we have...it is through myhosting.com...is there a way to find this information out? Within myhosting.com we are with Linux...again, not sure what this means either. We did check the SQL, but the files were not there. In terms of a backup..he did one, but the products didn't make it for whatever reason.Our images made it, but not the products and categories. We had a previous backup (about a month earlier) but are unable to unzip in the cubecart upload area...any ideas would be appreciated. I hope this helps. Thanks. System DSN (ODBC) Management List of your current active DSN(s): DSN Name Database Name thegrocerygrabbers_com \cgi-bin\mydatabase.mdb I found this on our myhosting.com site. Is this what you were talking about? If it is how do we access it and see if our products are listed?

vokf Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Glad to hear you're up and running. Interesting that your can see System DSN/ODBC... Thats Windows database stuff.. If you are on Windows Hosting (but have no reason to be), you may want to see if your host will move you to their Linux hosting package. CubeCart and many other PHP/mySQL scripts are much easier to set-up. As I think I've said in another post, the Min order mod is in cubecartforums.org under free mods. Ask the mod author for help if you need installation assistance. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
