Did you try to run the upgrade script already? If not, run the database conflict script from the annoucement forum and see if that turns up anything.

It looks like your backup is missing a field.

**Ken Iovino** · Tue 17 Jun '03, 9:46pm

What does this mean? I have a back-up from a month ago =\ man i might have to go to that one huh?

**Steve Machol** · Tue 17 Jun '03, 9:52pm

Most likely if this field is missing, then there are other problems with this backup as well. How did you make and restore this backup - through telnet/ssh?

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded in /usr/local/cpanel/base/3rdparty/phpMyAdmin/read_dump.php on line 78

Thats what im getting via phpmyadmin when i created a new database and tried to upload by backup to the new database

**Steve Machol** · Tue 17 Jun '03, 9:59pm

That's why backups made by php scripts are unreliable. The only reliable method of backing up and restoring a database is with shell access via telnet or ssh. Please see the instructions here:
