Disaster recovery guide?
Permalink
Hi!
I tried to find some kind of disaster recovery guide how to restore concrete5 site if I only have database backup left. I made a bew installation and restored backup to clean database. Maybe I'm missing some critical steps to get my site working again.
Any tips would be nice. :)

It's not quite clear what is the problem, but here goes...
- You need not only the database, but also other old files from your site: application and packages folders.
- When you install new C5, do you have correct database name, username and password on application/config/database.php file?
- I usually move or restore sites locally on MAMP first. And I usually need to remove ”seo” lines from concrete.php file (application/config/generated_overrides/concrete.php). As you are at it, it might be helpful to chance cache from ”true” to ”false”.
Terveisin,
