Finding an old SQL file

Hi, i have a website at (http://www.bathingwithtoasters.com), and i did have it on hosting by byethost, anyway, turns out they aren’t overly fond of it when i don’t pay them. and the hosting ran out about a year ago, recently i decided to revive the website with my local copy of the files, and put it on hostmonster, i’ve got the website working, but i can’t see to get the forum working. I have created a new database, and a new user and added them to the database, and changed the config.php file, but, apparently i need to import the SQL file for the database, i downloaded the entire server via coreftp before the hosting went dead so i had all the files but the only sql files i can find are in forum>noninstall>schemas and are:
firebird_schema.sql
schema_data.sql
mysql_40_schema.sql
sqlite_schema.sql
mssql_schema.sql
postgres_schema.sql
mysql_41_schema.sql
oracle_schema.sql

the old hosting account name was something like cafescii_ and user cafescii_mason (apparently i should expect the sql file to have cafescii somewhere in it’s name, but i can’t find any other sql files other than the ones above.

Can anyone help tell me what i am looking for in order ot import it via phpmyadmin? or tell me a workaround whereby i can keep the old forum posts / members in tact? I must confess i’m a complete novice at this, thanks for any help :slight_smile:

Without the sql database file you will have no chance of getting anything back as this file holds the info for all posts and forum data.
So unless you can find that file no one can help you.

The file should have been downloaded with a backup so if you have a backup gzp file then search in it for sql files.

I just started again from scratch. Shrugs C’est la vie.
Thanks for the help anyway though.
