Hello,

Just upgraded to latest version of CMS Builder. I did a DB backup before doing it. Somehow, I used a new ftp software that did replace all the CMSAdmin folder instead of uploading the files into it.

Now when I try to login in, it goes to the installer, and doesn't find the backup file. What can I do?

Thanks for your help,

Jeremy

Did you download the entire cmsAdmin folder before the upgrade as recommended?  Your SQL database should still be intact.  You need to restore the entire folder back to the previous version since it contains the schema files which define the table layouts.

Glad to hear you got it all back.  I was feeling your pain ... been there, done that ... many years ago.  It is a very humbling experience.
