I was hacked

Hi,
Today my forum was hacked and all the files was deleted. how can I get back all the settings from VBSEO, database is O.K., what should I do?

you don't have a backup?

vbseo settings are stored in a flat file... config_vbseo.php

No i don't :(
they have mysteriously disappeared :(
what should I do now?

re-install it, and try to put the settings back as best you can from memory.

hopefully you used a preset.

so nothing was saved in database, I can re-install it?

as stated, the re-write settings are stored in the flat php file, not in the database.

you can re-upload from the package and re-import the product, and then enter in to the vbseocp.php portal and try to set everything back the way it was.

The best way to get your urls working would be to google 'site:yourdomain.com' and it would show you what the structure looked like. That is the best way that I can think of if you do not have a backup.

I have backup od files: vbseo_all.xml and vbseo_urls.xml does that help?

You could do a fresh install of vbseo, then import the vbseo_all from within the vbseocp and all settings should be how they were before.

I have done that, and everything seams to be working as before but when I click on any post I get error that it can't connect to database, any ides way?

check your includes/config.php file for vbulletin. That's a standard vb issue, not vbseo. you probably need to re-enter your user/pass/database info into it.

No, they are fine, I have just checked, and when I turn VBseo off forum works just fine, but when I turn VBSEO on, just topics where is SEO url doesn't work, index of forum works just fine

Replied your support ticket

Now, before you do anyting else, MAKE A BACK UP!!!!!!!!!! and store it OFF your server (ie, a nas at your datacenter, or ftp to your home computer)
