Missing information in MyBB Documentation (Recovering a Hacked Forum) #179

Closed levelad closed 4 years ago

Hi there,

I followed this instruction https://docs.mybb.com/1.8/administration/security/recovery/#change-the-default-table-prefix-mysql

But after I did this I almost got an heart attack because I now got the error message "SQL Error: 1146 - Table 'xx_yy.prefix_datacache' doesn't exist" 😁

Thanks to Destroy666 I found the solution in an old 1.6 post here (https://community.mybb.com/thread-150318.html).

You should urgently update this tutorial with the missing part of updating the config.php with the new database prefix.

Thanks
