XF 1.4 Mysqli prepare error: Table 'Xenforo.xf_data_registry' doesn't exist

[Kevin12087]

Hey guys. So one of my friends decided to think it was funny to log into my GoDaddy account and cancel my hosting plan. I lost all my files so I restored it and GoDaddy gave me the backup files. I uploaded everything and this is my error.

In View-source:
An unexpected database error occurred. Please try again later.
<!-- Mysqli prepare error: Table 'Xenforo.xf_data_registry' doesn't exist -->

When I go to /install I get:

Server Error
Server Error
Mysqli prepare error: Table 'Xenforo.xf_data_registry' doesn't exist

Can someone help me please! Thank you.

This is urgent. Please help!!!

That would indicate the backup is corrupt or incomplete.

You will need to try with another viable backup.

Presumably you are using SSH to backup/restore and not cPanel (which isn't advised)?

It sounds like they backed up your files but not the database -- that would likely be totally separate (though something they really should be backing up, considering that's where your important data likely is).

 

[Kevin12087]

So how do I get my SQL database back? If I don't have it. I do have the file but it doesn't restore everything. It just adds a new database.

 

[Mike]

If you haven't taken a backup of it yourself (and downloaded it), you would have to ask your host to see if they have it.

I got the backup from my host. I didn't have a backup.

 

[Mike]

You can only contact them to ask if they still have the database or to help you restore it (if it is present).

 

[Kevin12087]

Is it possible I can reinstall the database without and of the old permissions? I don't care if everything goes missing as long as I get my site back. I am not looking to reinstall the whole software just the databases.

 

[Paul B]

You will need a complete viable database to restore from.

Some friend.
You should keep your account details private to prevent situations such as this.
