Installing 1.3.7 on your live site will destroy your db. You don't want that.

If you can restore the config files to get your site up and running for now, do that. You can then install 1.3.7 in a different directory (with its own db) and test it.

If not, use your webmaster panel to export your data and save it to your local drive. This should do the entire db in one step. Install 1.3.7 on the site (this will rebuild the db and destroy the existing data). Import the backup into the new db. That should do it.

Any other suggestions, Merlin?

On the subject of exporting and importing...

1. Is this done through phpMyAdmin?
2. Any specific switches that I need to be aware of when exporting?
3. Importing only seems to accept SQL format. Is this correct or am I missing something?

The reason for these questions is that when I try to perform a SQL import, it returns the following...

*****

-- Table structure for table `address_book`
--
CREATE TABLE `address_book` ( `address_book_id` int( 11 ) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT ,
`customers_id` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
`entry_gender` char( 1 ) NOT NULL default '',
`entry_company` varchar( 32 ) default NULL ,
`entry_firstname` varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL default '',
`entry_lastname` varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL default '',
`entry_street_address` varchar( 64 ) NOT NULL default '',
`entry_suburb` varchar( 32 ) default NULL ,
`entry_postcode` varchar( 10 ) NOT NULL default '',
`entry_city` varchar( 32 ) NOT NULL default '',
`entry_state` varchar( 32 ) default NULL ,
`entry_country_id` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
`entry_zone_id` int( 11 ) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY ( `address_book_id` ) ,
KEY `idx_address_book_customers_id_zen` ( `customers_id` )
) ENGINE = MYISAM DEFAULT CHARSET = latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT =11;

MySQL said:
#1050 - Table 'address_book' already exists

I was just wondering if I even exported the data correctly.

Thanks,
