Hi Ilia,

Interesting, they did something and phpMyAdmin began showing the half of the database too.

Fortunately, I took a backup of db before they did what they did.

I inserted that backup into my MySQL, copied the forum files from the server to my server, changed GLOBALS.php to adjust directories, and voila! Currently, I have one running copy of the forum with no messages lost except the last 5 messages, which I guess were posted when the problem first appeared.

Currently, it's simply moving the forum from one server to another using FUDforum's own data dump, which we did in the past once with no serious problems. But first, we must find a working database server Smile

try doing REPAIR [table_name] on the "missing" tables.


I tried doing that when the phpMyAdmin showed good copy of the db, but didn't work. I guess it operated on a different db server. I create a db using mysqladmin and it doesn't show up in phpMyAdmin/cpanel and vice versa.

I decide to no longer wait for them, and began searching for a new hosting company. And if you don't mind, let me tell that they're bluehost.com, so that people can avoid signing up with them nowadays.

Oh, and thanks for your help. You helped more than the sys.admins of the hoster.

cya,
tiu
