Help!
I’ve managed to corrupt the data in my exp_sites table, and now our site won’t load. Blank screen. Control panel says there’re no users in the database so I can’t log into it.
Is there a way to force EE to rebuild this data?
This is totally operator error… I modified the contents of that row by hand. Stupid user me.
Any help is very much appreciated.

Huge major props to Engine Hosting support, who produced a backup of the tables I needed in about 10 minutes.
I imported the backed up data and everything is back to normal. But you can bet I’ll start making a weekly local backup of the vital tables in EE!
So this one is solved and I can’t say enough good things about Engine Hosting’s Support Staff.

Glad EngineHosting was able to help out. Don’t hesitate to post again as needed.
