Failed IPB upgrade -- database salvageable?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I tried upgrading my forum to the latest version. Let's just say the upgrade did not work properly and I was told by IPS that it would be easier to just restore a previous backup then try to salvage everything. Only issue is the last backup was from back in March (I did a backup today, but it ended up being corrupted as well.)

Is there anybody here who would be willing to try to fix the site? I'm willing to pay if somebody if they can try to salvage it and get the site working properly. Site has 400,000~ posts and 11,000 members so it's a decent sized database.

Please let me know.

Ask your host if their service does daily backups. If your present database has been corrupted due to the failed upgrade, then you may not be able to get a stable copy of it. You must remember to always perform a full database and public_html backup before preparing to do any upgrades. Just in case. ;)
