Introduction
Accidentally losing migrated files on Hostinger can be frustrating, but there is a way to recover them effectively. If you find yourself in this situation, follow these steps to upload your files and make the necessary updates to your configuration file.
Uploading Your Files
First, log into your Hostinger account and navigate to the File Manager. From there, identify the location where your files need to be uploaded. Select the ‘Upload’ option, and choose the files you wish to restore. Ensure that you are uploading them to the correct directory, typically the public_html folder if you’re working with a website.
Updating the config.php File
Once the files have been successfully uploaded, the next crucial step involves modifying your config.php file. This file contains essential configuration settings for your application. Locate config.php in the directory where your files reside and open it for editing.
In the config file, you will need to update the database connection details. Look for the lines that define DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and DB_NAME. Ensure these parameters correspond with your Hostinger database settings. Once you have made the necessary changes, save the file.
Importing SQL Data
If your application requires specific database data, you will need to import an SQL file. Navigate to the Database section of your Hostinger dashboard, access phpMyAdmin, and select your database. Click on the ‘Import’ tab, choose your SQL file, and initiate the upload. This step will restore your database structure and data, allowing your application to function as intended.
In conclusion, losing your migrated files on Hostinger is an inconvenience that can be swiftly resolved. By following these steps, you can upload your files, modify the config.php file, and import your SQL data with ease.
