user table export/import
 

Hello,
I know this is possible,but I need some guidance. I have a version of VB that has some corrupt tables. (Don't bother asking about the backup...it isn't working either.) Anyhow,I went into phpmyadmin and I can see that the user table is still intact. What I would like to do is take the user table,and send it to a clean install of VB. I would also like to do the same for the threads and posts on my site.
I need some serious direction with this. I am new to phpmyadmin. If you know of a script that will allow me to do so,send it along. otherwise,directions to do this manually would be a godsend.

Thanks.

Have you tried repairing the tables first?

Hello,
If I had access to my site and I could repair them,I would. Currently,all I get is the error page. If you have a suggestion,I am open to it!

Ask your host for SSH access, and then use myisamchk to repair the corrupt tables. Or, i'm pretty sure some repairing options are also available in phpmyadmin.

Backups should be made periodically to prevent problems like this ever occuring. Nevertheless, there needs to be a lot more tables than the user/post/thread table to get your board fully functioning again. I don't really know what to suggest. What tables are corrupt?

This is untested, I've only just noticed this in the vB3 zip file. There is a folder called do_not_upload. Inside of it there is a file called tools.php. Try uploading it to your admincp directory and see if it loads. If it loads we can go from there.
