I am making a clone forum within my productive forum. Now I have done this before with out a hitch but today I used repair_settings it went right in but when I try to reach the clone form I get this message

Table 'kathryn_my clone site.smf_settings' doesn't exist  what is going on?

Just got on, Kathie, will take care of it.

Does the aforementioned table exists in the database of the clone forum?

Sir Osis of Liver

The database is empty, she managed to delete all tables.  It's a Crocweb account, she has 30 days backups so it can be restored.

I deleted the database. That's what I did. I thought I may use that again and all day long I have been trying

Did you get any errors when you try to restore the database backup to the clone forum 's database? Also, is the backup complete? You should check it after you make it to make sure that it is done properly and it contains all the data.

Sir Osis of Liver

Actually, the database wasn't deleted, all the tables were dropped.  She was also tinkering with the db settings.  This is a Crocweb account, so we have 30 days of backups.  Will fix it tonight.  It's not one of her production installs, just a clone that was being used as work forum.

My pet rock is not feeling well. I think it's stoned.
