Not sure quite what happened
I am currently using Tiki version 1.7. I hadn't used tiki for a few months (late 2004 might be an approximation, I honestly don't remember). Last week, someone asked me if the site was still up. "Well, sure!", I replied, "Just not updated". Thet asked me to retrieve some document that I had converted to wiki, but that's not entirely relevant. I get to the home page, and I get a 'permission denied' error. Hmm, I thought to myself. I try to login to admin, but cannot. I checked PhpMyadmin quickly, and oddly enough, there was only one user, the admin. I logged in using that username and password, and everything was gone, it seemed. So, I checked entries in PhpMyAdmin.
No Galaxia records
214 records in tiki_actionlog (which is accurate)
21 records in tiki_images_old
1 record in tiki_languages
7 records in tiki_live_support_modules
2 records in tiki_modules
1 record in tiki_pages
1 record in tiki_preferences
1 record in tiki_sessions
2 records in users_groups
141 records in users_permissions
1 record in users_users
I am horrible at backing up. I can admit that up front. I actually do have a PhpMyAdmin dump from 08-21-03, but I have a nagging feeling it won't help me in any which way. So, I'm a bit confused as to what I do next. What actually happened? Is there some magic restore I can do?
If anyone could help me, in any which way, it would be deeply appreciated.
