All channels gone - please help

[cadement]

We've got a small guild server running and yesterday the machine it was on had to be rebooted. After the reboot, TeamSpeak loaded fine. All the user accounts are still there and can load in. But when you connect, there are no channels present (not even a default) and you can't see any of the connected users (since there is no channel to display them in). So I went to the telnet interface and, sure enough, it shows there are no channels. I tried to create a new channel - nothing happened :( My initial assumption was that the sqlite db must be corrupted but I just download the sqlite.bin command line tool and when I open server.dbs all the channels are there as if everything is fine.

At this point, I'm totally stumped. I'm sure I could blow out the db and start from scratch but I'd really rather not have to recreate all the user logins if I can help it...

Any guru's out there - I welcome your thoughts!

Thanks,

Casey

This is a first... you might want to try and download the server.dbs, then set up a local server with that file and see what happens.

Thanks for the quick response! Here's the way it panned out:

I couldn't get this database to run on another machine so I backed it up and wiped. The server came up fine with the newly created database so that pretty much confirms the db was toast.

BUT - to save myself some heartache I then used the sqlite command line tool to dump the data from my old database out to text files and then wrote the data back into the newly created db.

PROBLEM SOLVED! :)

**note to self - back up server.dbs regularly so don't have this problem again**
