So I had CMSB 1.36 on a site (http://174.143.92.42/waxahachiechamber.com/emediacms/). When it came time to go live, the address is now http://waxahachiechamber.com/emediacms/. CMS didn't like this and wasn't able to be accessed at all. So, I made a backup of the MySQL DB, and a backup of the Uploads and reinstalled CMSB 1.36 anew connecting it to the existing database. Went through the setup again, and wanted to Restore a backup (of which it said there was none). So, I created a backup....

Now, the backup is showing entries for every table that was created and all the entries as such (they all match the syntax of the original MySQL backup). However, none of the sections or data therein are populating through the admin panel....

Anybody have any idea how to fix this? The data/paths are all there but the information is not in the admin panel?

Help?!?!?

Hi misery217,

Upload all the schema files in /data/schema/ from your old install to your new one, then click Admin > Section Editors and everything should appear.

Hope that helps! Let me know if that works and any other issues you're having and we'll help you get it sorted out.

That did it Dave!!! Thanks so much!! However, now all the images that were uploaded aren't linking? I put the backup of the original uploads in its correct place, and made sure permissions are correct. The path to the images is showing up correctly, so now what gives?

Thanks as always for your help!
