[3.3.x] Support Forum • Re: Can I recover a board with just the database intact?

You guys are awesome. Thank you for all your support.

Sorry I have very minimal experience with phpbb or with the databases. So very limited knowledge overall. I am an old truck driver lol. I can tell you how to shift an 18 speed transmission and teach ya how to double clutch, chain down loads, pull 2 53ft trailers and do a log book though lol. So I need the phpbb for dummies versions lol.

So if I understand correctly since I do not have any of the files and only the database…
1) I need to download the correct version of phpbb. (Thanks for the links)
2) upload those files to the web server
3) edit the config file to point to our existing database ( not sure how to do that one)
4) Run the install and pray lol.

Have I got that right so far? I am also running the latest php version on the site. Will that be an issue? It’s been updated recently after we where hacked and the forum files deleted.

I’m on the road and don’t have my laptop with me, only my phone. So won’t be attempting any of this till tomorrow or Thursday.
