XF 2.0 Restoring from DB

[Charlie J]

Hey all,
I've been trying to upgrade my forum when I accidentally seemed to have somehow overidden the files (styles, addons and the config.php). Whilst my DB is still in tact, would I be somehow able to use the /install/ and restore my forum? at least nodes, users and threads.

Ty!

More information is needed.

1) What version are you restoring from and to?
2) Do you have a full database backup?
3) How did you do the database backup?
4) How old is the database backup?

Hey there sorry,
So running XF 2.0, I have a full DB backup (after the incident). I basically override the folders on XenForo when doing a upgrade. The DB is still in tact.

if you've overwritten the contents of your data and internal data directories there really isn't going to be a way for you to recover your attachments unless you have a backup of these directories. To get the forum back into a working state (without the attachments) you'll just need to copy src/config.default.php into src/config.php and fill in all of your DB details. You'll also need to reupload any add-ons and styles you've downloaded

Yep I've done so, the forum is now showing errors now, such as:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Could not find class KL\UserImprovements\Entity\UserPrivacy when attempting to extend XF\Entity\UserPrivacy'

I do not have a backup of those directories however.

That's because you didn't:

[...] reupload any add-ons and styles you've downloaded

Ok update, the attachments somehow stayed? I re-added an old UIX 2 theme I made and the addons. Forum is back, ty @Jake B. and @AndyB. Appreciated for the time spent, have a great weekend!
