Hi

I have to restore my database as it has got hacked into.

I have a recent back up i can use but i keep getting the following error when i try to import it.

Code:

Error

There seems to be an error in your SQL query. The MySQL server error output below, if there is any, may also help you in diagnosing the problem

ERROR: Unknown Punctuation String @ 7
STR: /><
SQL: 

<br /><strong>Warning</strong>: mysql_query() [<a href='function.mysql-query'>function.mysql-query</a>]: Unable to save result set in <strong>[path]/includes/class_core.php</strong> on line <strong>408</strong><br /><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

SQL query:


Warning: mysql_query() [function.mysql-query]: Unable to save result set in [path]/includes/class_core.php on line 408

Anybody know why it is not working or where i am going wrong.

Any help is very much appreciated.

How was this backup created?
Was it transfered from your PC to the server?

It was made via the back up database bit in the vbulletin admincp

What method are you using to import it? Have you tried another method? Do you have any other backups to try this on?

Most hosts do regular backups. Did you contact them to re-install one of their backups?

The AdminCP is not a reliable backup for anything but very small boards.

The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. This is because backing up with a PHP script like that in the Admin CP or phpMyAdmin can result in PHP timeouts errors and an incomplete backup file. Please see the instructions here:

Backup:

Restore:
http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...ce_ssh_restore

P.S. If you don't have shell access, some people have also reported success with these scripts:
