@phishinfool Better delete that file quickly and/or rename it! Now everybody can download your database including member email adresses, private PMs and weakly hashed passwords

[phishinfool]

done

i had no idea
that was a rookie mistake lol!

Been beating my head against the bricks, i have never had such an ordeal installing & restoring a backup of a forum, not even when i did it the first time.

Going offline shortly, just to let you know I have a support ticket in with my host to import your database into a test install.  They should get to it by tomorrow.  I suspect it's $50 worth of crap.  Do you still have any access to the old account?

[phishinfool]

yes, its still live.

My host cannot import the database -

'We have tried to import the database file to the database gemstone_forum and noticed that it contains many Duplicate entry. That is the reason, it is not allow us to import. Please go through database file and remove all unwanted entry and provide the proper SQL file.'

The file is 135 mb, not something you'd want to try to fix manually.   What access do you have to the old forum?

[phishinfool]

just to log in and use it as an admin.
no option in the admin panel to make a download in maintenance like all the forums i have ever built and operated
