I did back it up last week, now Im just trying to find where the default saving location is. Any suggestions on that one lol.

By the way, your help is much appreciated

default saving location for what?

The vbulletin.sql, but I have found it. Now im struggling with restoring the database. I have uploaded my .sql file via FTP onto my server, cant figure out how to import it from there, as well I have tried copy paste, then also "Exqcute SQL Quesry" in the admincp. It took awhile then brought me to a blank page in the admincp,

Im so confused!

Can you get into cPanel? There is an option to restore a backed up DB within the MySQL options.

Here is the run down of what I have done tonight, still unsucessful

Imported database via ftp and apparently (so my server tells me) sucessfully imported into both databases I have. I had one called mx6_forum (dont remember creating that one) and when all this happened I created a new one, called mx6. but now I don't know what to do. My forums are still as if new.

What now?

Change your config.php file to reflect the new db. :)

I have lol. Honestly I am out of ideas and have been searching and searching the net for litterally like 10 hours.

If you go in via cPanel and look at the data within the tables in the DB, does it look like there's info in there, or does it look like a virgin DB?

OH MAN! that just made me realize what it was by looking at the tabls

in the config.php file I didn't have a prefix on there for my tables

Forums are fix, for anyone looking at this in the future make sure your prefix is there, and correct.
