Cannot Restore Through MyPHPAdmin

[محروم.كوم]

Hello,

my website got majorly hacked, wordpress shut down, vbulletin shut down, dadamail shut down . . .

am trying to rebuild it without starting from scratch, trying to salvage anything . . .

Hundreds of files had a bogus code string inserted via a PHP insertion tool . . .

Scrapped the entire VB forum folder and uploaded new and created new database, installed VB to that Database and then restored an old saved version of the forum to that database,

from MyPHPadmin can be seen all the posts and phrases etc that were uploaded from the restore, however the forum is unchanged from its "brand new" installation look . . .?


Should I have not "installed" it and just restored the .sql file to a blank database??

Any advise would be greatly appreciated . . . (even advise on how to salvage hacked databases)

thanks __DEFINE_LIKE_SHARE__
