[3.3.x] Support Forum • Import old database?

$
0
0
I updated a private forum that I have, but I didn't read that I had to delete some folders before uploading the installation via FTP, so everything got overwritten. After trying a thousand things, I thought of uploading a new phpBB installation and adding the database with the old users and posts, but it doesn't allow me to do so.

I have tried from the host and it does not allow overwriting the database tables, nor from the ACP by uploading the backup via FTP. I also tried using an already created database with the previous data at the time of installation, but it says that the prefix already exists and creating a new one does not preserve the previous tables.

Can you please help me?

Edit: I tried changing the config file to redirect it to the old database, but it gives me this error:

General Error
SQL ERROR [ mysqli ]

Unknown column 'user_last_active' in 'field list' [1054]

An SQL error occurred while fetching this page. Please contact the Board Administrator if this problem persists.
