Total c5 Disaster, I've lost everything, nothing works
PermalinkI tried moving my htdocs and db directories over but none of my sites will connect. I thought I would try a fresh c5 install and start again from scratch. Even this won't work, I'm getting the below error on installation:
Unable to install database: Can't create/write to file '/Applications/MAMP/db/mysql/my_sitename/FileVersions.MYI' (Errcode: 2)
So now none of my c5 installations are accessible and I'm completely and totally stuck with deadlines galore and no way of moving forward.
Help!
"*Note*: Before proceeding with the installation, be sure to shut down
all running MySQL server instances by either using the MySQL Manager
Application (on Mac OS X Server) or via `mysqladmin shutdown' on the
command line."
Solution: reinstall with the older version closed down
hope this helps someone else...
I don't know enough about mySQL or mac-os to provide a solution. There may be a database file recovery capability somewhere within mySQL you can try.
