Urgent Help needed
Hi,
I recently purchased a server and after ploading my VB files then I went to do the DB only to find that when I was restoring it, certain tables and data entries were in what looks like corrupt code like: Code:
Then it goes on for ages, same stuff around the cronlog and datastore area, not even got half way through yet. This was a straight backup from VB admin area on one forum. The forums were meant to reopen at 8pm tonight and I don't know what the problem is. I just posted over on VB official site then thought of posing here Thanks in Advance Danny |
do you have any other backups
seems like the backup you made was corrupt |
The thing is thwe last few times they have been corrupt, is this a VB problem?
Danny |
well how did you do the back-up via the admincp
if so try and do it via SSH or through cPanel (if you have cPanel that is) |
I would but my host didn't take kindly to me getting my own server (not a very friendly one but reliable) then he suspended my account, Then he unsuspended it and the server i used to use went down. As soon as it comes back I will try a WHM transfer but I suppose I will have to sit and wait
Danny |
yep do a backup that way, or use SSH. and i think it is illegal for them to suspend your account if you had paid for that month just because your getting a new host.
and fyi, never tell your host your leaving them until you have everything you need, just in case they do this to you. |
Thanks very much for your time and help :D

databse dont look corrupt to me - that info above could be anything such as pics stored in the actual database.I have restored many databases with data that looks like that though Mysqlfront with Nps whatsoever.
|
i have never had a database look like that ever, even with pictures in the database.
|
Well it is simple: check the last 10 lines of the backup file wih any editor.
If it contains a nice closed set of inserts into the "Word" table, the backup seem to be complete. |

Ive had many databases look exactly like that and have restored them to live site fine and to localhost fine.Until i seen this post i just assumed it was natural. |
maybe i just haven't looked hard at them before or the program i use to look at them makes it look different or something.
but i digress i would go for the restore now since it can't do any harm anyways. |
That dump looks fine, that wierd code is biniary data from attachments
|
My backups look like that all the time. Like Zachery said, that's just the binary attachment being converted to string data. Notice how at the end of the big long blob of garbage, the text returns to normal - and the insert is for the Attachment table. :) Those clues say the file is fine.
|
Well I tried to restore it and it said it hadnt closed a ) in the attachment bit. Anyway you can close this if you want now because the old host server acm back online and I just got the DB through WHM transfer :D
Thanks Danny |
