Database Error :(

[natsu287]

I was trying to create a test environment, but in the middle of it, I accidently deleted the database that my forum was using through Webmin

My control Panel is Virtualmin/Webmin on CentOS Server

So I followed the step's in creating the database for Webmin:
http://linuxconsultant.info/tutorial...min.html#mysql

Then at the end, I Imported the .sql file of my forum into the new database I created with the new user/pass

But I still get

Database error

Also after the import, I can see the Databse and tables all through PHPMYADMIN, as well, I also did not forget to edit the config.php file

what am I doing wrong?

Here is what I did
-Created a new user called "newforums with a password (for example: dbtest101)
-Set the host to localhost
-Selected All permissions

Then I am going create the database
-Called it also "newforums" and left the default settings for the resst

Then I am going to create the permission
- Selected the "newforums" database, and chose "newforums" as the user
- Set the host to localhost
- Selected all permissions

Then I selected the database, did "excecute sql", then I browed for my vb database forums, and the I waited about 2-5min, no error's.

I can then see all 208 table's and also when I log into PHPMYADMIN, I can see it all there too!

So I go into the includes\config.php, I edit the dbname, username, and password, then I save it

Then I go to my link, still database error!

I Must be doing something wrong

You need to get the actual error from your server error logs. Of you don't know where those are, you need to contact your host.

Ok I will contact my host

Ok my host told me this

Basically, it's missing a column "phrasegroup_activitystream"

I did a complete backup of my VB4.2.2 before it crashed, first of all why is it saying 5.1.1? Also how do I fix this please! Anyone?

How did you set up your test environment? Is it possible that you somehow are using vb5 files?

no my vb5 was created on a sub-server called forums.yourwebsite.tv on a sub-server and called the database "forums".

I deleted the entire sub-server "forums" which also deleted the username and database which were entitled "forums"

I then followed the steps to create a new database and I put it on the main yourwebsite.tv server (not a sub-server), and I called it forums_vb4

so I exported the forums_vb4 into a sql file (got 206 table'\s)

then as I was messing around to make test.yourwebsite.tv I actually deleted the "forums_vb4" table by accident

Anyone know how to fix this? It's urgent my forums have been down for over a week!

If you are using a 4.2.2 database, then you need to upload 4.2.2 files to your site. If you uploaded 5.x files to your site (and want to upgrade to 5.x which isn't suggested unless you have already tested this on a test site), then you need to run the upgrade script.
