Well I got the database restored, the one I backed up last week. Which means some stuff was lost, like 2 chapters I uploaded for one author which I'll re-add as soon as everything starts working properly again.

At the moment people can access stories but not categories. I can't update the welcome message and well there may be a few more bugs that I don't know about.

I've already wrote in a request for help at the efiction forums and I'm really hoping someone there understands what the error messages mean so I they can tell me what I need to do to repair the problem.

At this point I'm just happy the database backup worked. I can still access the story. Worst case senario I do a fresh install of the newest efiction archive software and manually transfer everything over to the newer version of the archive. (best case the problems i'm seeing are easy to fix for those that know how)

Also on another note, I got a stomach bug. So not a good day.

edit: it looks like I solved most of the error messages I was getting. so the archive is up and running again.
