Reload Products

[mortt]

I have just reinstalled Zencart v 1.3.0.2, how do I re-load the products onto the new site I have used the same prefix and details for the database setup and I have a full backup
I assumed that the products would be picked up automatically on re-installation

Yes, after importing your database from backup.

Thats what I thought I am using mySQL Admin to restore the files it reports a sucessfull restore but I still have no products

How many records are in your "Products" table?
Do you have matching records in the products_description table? If there is no description, they won't show in the Admin.

How many languages do you have active on your site?

I have the same number of entries in Products and Product Descriptions
I only have one language installed, all the other records seem intact but on restoring the file nothing is uploaded

I thought I should add that I am viewing the database that is on the server not the local backup file
Here it the database connection from the configure.php file

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'artist');
define('DB_SERVER', x.x.x.x); // eg, localhost - should not be empty
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'xxxxxx');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'xxxxxxxxxxxx');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'time');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'db'

The prefix is the same as I can see on the database
