[opencms-dev] Antwort: Re: URGENT: Recovering Opencms Online-Project with Offline-Project

[Frank Pertack]

Thank you Christian,

will try that.
I could recover already most of the files already with eclipse and
webdav-connection by using a new installed opencms, without dropping the
old database. Certainly I copied the old database before that (something I
learned from yesterday ;-) ).

Cheers

Frank

First of all, you should of course back up your database before doing any
more damage - recovery should only be done on a copied DB.

Try to see if the opencms commandline shell is still working and if it
knows any of your files. If so, maybe you can re-create your online project
with a few commands from there (creating projects is definitely possible,
the online project should have number 0). Try to look into the javadoc of
the opencms shell class to understand what the shell commands are doing.
The shell is just a wrapper that calls java methods.


If not, you probably have to poke around in the database tables. Normally,
opencms keeps old versions of files around (unless you have deactivated
that). There are not too many tables and their names are quite easy to
understand. You may have to understand the data model for that though, so
first try to see, if you can revive your online project through the shell
in some way.

Earlier copies of your data should be there, but getting it out will
probably require some effort.
