eoebrian Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Host experienced a hardware failure 3 days ago and their backups were also affected ... Now that they have the server back online the backups they have are not loading the site correctly. I am getting > Driver Error ... There appears to be an error with the database. When I check the log file I see numerous lines that say > Error: 1054 - Unknown column 'member_id' in 'where clause' Does ipboard have any files that will check the integrity of the database? Really hoping I can salvage my database as I did not have a backup of it :( Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoebrian Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 I repaired that table/column now I see this > Error: 1054 - Unknown column 'ip_address' in 'where clause' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Ask the host if they have any other backups. But sorta sounds like your database is corrupt beyond simple repair. And lesson of the day... always keep your own backups offsite and never trust hosting company's own backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NenaDice Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I repaired that table/column now I see this > Error: 1054 - Unknown column 'ip_address' in 'where clause' You have missing columns. Most likely the backup was corrupted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoebrian Posted February 16, 2013 Author Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yes, the backup was corrupted as well .... really stupid system of doing backups ... the backups were "overwrote" with no way to check for integrity it just overwrote good data with bad. Ive had a few days of sleepless work and was able to reconstruct most of the data and thanks to ipboard rebuilding my skin caches the site is now back online. Thanks Rhett !!!!

NenaDice Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Glad to see that you got it sorted out.Something to keep in mind regarding the backups btw for future references.It would be better imho to always do your own backups rather than rely on the host. Then after you made them, it will not harm to check them if they are done properly in case should you need to use them. You can do that by restoring them at a test forum using a new database.
