I don't know, might just be optimization but it's a heck of a lot! Give it a go and see what happens. You can always restore it afterwards.
Hi, i did the same. Everything was fine and uploads went successful . Install too was successful, database too was showing fine but all threads were still missing so tried to a database recovery via ACP, but timedout and ACP now shows old DB.
Updating the database now fails with the following error code.
General Error:SQL ERROR [ mysql4 ]Duplicate key name 'itm_usr_mthd' [1061]SQLALTER TABLE phpbb_user_notifications ADD INDEX itm_usr_mthd (item_type, item_id, user_id, method) in file /home/lightonv/public_html/wordpress/phpBB_3.1/phpbb/db/driver/driver.php on line 999BACKTRACEFILE: (not given by php)LINE: (not given by php)CALL: installer_msg_handler()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/driver/driver.phpLINE: 999CALL: trigger_error()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/driver/mysql.phpLINE: 191CALL: phpbb\db\driver\driver->sql_error()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/tools/tools.phpLINE: 1064CALL: phpbb\db\driver\mysql->sql_query()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/tools/tools.phpLINE: 1551CALL: phpbb\db\tools\tools->_sql_run_sql()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/tools/tools.phpLINE: 671CALL: phpbb\db\tools\tools->sql_create_index()FILE: (not given by php)LINE: (not given by php)CALL: phpbb\db\tools\tools->perform_schema_changes()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/migrator.phpLINE: 711CALL: call_user_func_array()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/migrator.phpLINE: 658CALL: phpbb\db\migrator->run_step()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/migrator.phpLINE: 400CALL: phpbb\db\migrator->process_data_step()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/migrator.phpLINE: 351CALL: phpbb\db\migrator->try_apply()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/migrator.phpLINE: 351CALL: phpbb\db\migrator->try_apply()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/migrator.phpLINE: 288CALL: phpbb\db\migrator->try_apply()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/db/migrator.phpLINE: 241CALL: phpbb\db\migrator->update_do()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/install/module/update_database/task/update.phpLINE: 160CALL: phpbb\db\migrator->update()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/install/module_base.phpLINE: 149CALL: phpbb\install\module\update_database\task\update->run()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/install/installer.phpLINE: 219CALL: phpbb\install\module_base->run()FILE: [ROOT]/phpbb/install/controller/update.phpLINE: 133CALL: phpbb\install\installer->run()FILE: (not given by php)LINE: (not given by php)CALL: phpbb\install\controller\update->phpbb\install\controller\{closure}()FILE: [ROOT]/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/StreamedResponse.phpLINE: 113CALL: call_user_func()FILE: [ROOT]/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/Response.phpLINE: 380CALL: Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\StreamedResponse->sendContent()FILE: [ROOT]/install/app.phpLINE: 62CALL: Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response->send()
So to get back to the successful installation i repeated the same process given in the article you shared, but this time the database instead of updating gives the same error message. Did i miss anything or anything wrong in my steps?
By attempting to recover the database, did i messup everything again?
But i have to accept that PHPBB is interesting and attempting to resolve issues is educative and informative too.
Thanks
