“Database backup file is missing. Unable to import database”. The database.sql file exist in the uploads folder.
]]>I just found out today that another website that I made for a friend has the same problem although it looks different. Ultimately he can’t get into the back end. The website is login is https://monroeinstituteuk.org/wp-login
We both greatly need to update our websites, so any help would be hugely appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

]]>I was waiting on more content when I received an email from my client asking why the new site was gone. After checking, I found that /newsite was nothing more than a new install of WP with the 2015 theme and all of my content was gone.
I discovered an email that just looked like the other notifications of updates which said the site had been reset (see text pasted below). I did not request this. Why/how did www.remarpro.com reset my site? What is going on? And if I just start anew will this happen again?
And in answer to a logical question: no, I didn’t back up the database. I will be starting all over (lesson painfully learned).
Your WordPress site has been successfully reset, and can be accessed at:
https://matanda.com/newsite
You can log in to the administrator account with the following information:
Username: admin
Password: previously specified password
Log in here: https://matanda.com/newsite/wp-login.php
We hope you enjoy your new site. Thanks!

I want to change the database prefix so I ran phpMYAdmin from cPanel
NO databases are listed
Both databases are there in cPanel (when you look at mySQL databases and users)
Have contacted support at my host provider and they can log in and see the databases
I tried using IE instead of Chrome, but still can’t see them
I don’t want to work on my website further because it seems something is wrong
Has anyone heard of this problem before? I tried deleting and re-installing WP again, but the result is the same.
]]>But I always had a backup of my database for whenever I went through some problem like this. When I tried to upload my files view Filezila, everything is clearly uploaded successfully. But of course with problems like these, there is always something else that comes up. For some reason, my wp-admin part of the site was not found. No login page, the url read as followed,
automata-theatre.netau.net/notfound
O great! How wonderful. So I go to my webhost log into Myp4padmin and there appears to be no database, nothing.. yet when I look through the FTP everything is there. I’m not sure if it has something to do with my Htaccess.file, as wp-better security does add a lot of new commands, im not sure. But I tried everything in my knowledge, including uploading a older version of my site, with a htaccess.file that has it’s original command… and at this point all I get is error establishing database connection (even though it has the proper info in the config.file)or some redirection to Cloud anti-virus… which when I press yes to continue sends me to my webhost provider main page… but it is lacking theme aspects O.o.
At this point I decide to make a another domain, to screw the other one I had and go with the new one. But the same problem persist.. either the database is completely missing from myp4padmin despite being uploaded through FTP, an error which sends you to Cloudanti-virus asking you do what to continue to this infected site, which turns out to be my webhost provider… OR, in the case of this new domain, https://automata-theatre.site50.net/ , all my content is gone, even though it is there through FTP. Not only is the content gone, but the theme looks a little messed up (see the two search bars and overlapping words).Mind you, I made a new username/pswd for this newer site.
Okay so that’s my junk of problems… my original site, automata-theatre.netau.net is currently down. I deleted everything off of the database in an attempt to restore the site via SQL file, however the upload lags out, so I guess it’s too big… dunno. The other is this one: automata-theatre.net16.net – which should redirect you to cloud anti-virus. I would prefer to have my original site back, as that is the site which everyone has access to for my art projects.
Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. And sorry for any grammar issues.

So I try again to install and get the same error message!!
What the devil is going on? I’m new and just trying to get WordPress
to work.
I’m running a tutorial from Lynda.com and it had
me set databasename to explore_ca
user to root
password to root
to match exercise files.
Could this be a problem?
You need to set your database connection in vsadmin/db_conn_open.php.
Any guesses where I went so terribly, terribly, terribly wrong?
