PHP Webmaster Wanted - WILL PAY!

artguy2000 · 19-09-2005, 18:46

I just restored my SQL database and the data is there but 90% of the posts are not showing

up on the message board. I will pay a qualified experienced indivdual $100/hr. to fix this

and if it works out I can use you on a permanent basis.

Please contact me by email:

editor@caymanactivityguide.com

Thanks,

Joe

What's the problem ? Which SQL server are you using (I'm guessing MySQL) ? Which version ? What error message(s) ?

Here's what happened:

I have a large 50MB mySQL database (not sure which version) message board with 10,000 members so we outgrew the shared server, Host Excellence. I contacted Aplus to purchase dedicated hosting and they also agreed to move everything, including the database. Even though they assured me that they had done this before, it is now obviously that they have not, and that they are not at all familiar with PHP or SQL. I have no idea what they did, but in the process they destroyed my database on the Host Excellence server causing it to lose some 90% of its data.

Yesterday I gave up on them and asked Host Excellence to restore the database with a direct overwirte using my most recent backup which I uploaded to their server. They did that and now all the posts, topics, page views, etc. all show up in the stats area but the actual posts do not display.

There are no error messsages and the data is there, but it is not showing up, except in the statistics. I compared the database size now with what it was before this whole disaster and it is the right size. I also opened the database and since it's not compressed I can see in plain English that all of the information is there.

You can see the board here:

I'm guessing it's urgent

I don't have a huge amount of time, but I'd be happy to take a copy of your backup file (if you granted my ftp access to the file) and restore it and see if I can get a phpBB frontend talking to it.

I'm a bit busy now, but could probably squeeze you in later this evening (about 22:00 ish UK time).

I have MySQL certification, so if the issue is database related, I can probably solve it.

I can give it a go. Just upload the SQL database somewere, and i will download and see what is wrong. I will be willing to do it for free if you link back to my site near the footer.

I don't want money :P

artguy2000 · 19-09-2005, 21:53

Thanks robertall - I am uploading it now and I'll post the FTP login when it's complete. And I don't expect anyone to work for free :-)

You can download the database here but it looks like the table phpbb_topics does not contain enough records and this is the only copy of the database in existence.
