That's what I thought and yes I looked in settings.php for the name. strange. I will try to restore a different db backup. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 28, 2012 at 1:15 PM, Ursula Pieper <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dramamezzo@gmail.com">dramamezzo@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
Yes, the content indeed resides in the database, at least mostly.<br>
Image files/etc. are stored in the public files folder<br>
(sites/default/files or sites/<a href="http://example.com/files" target="_blank">example.com/files</a> by default, look in<br>
<a href="https://example.com/admin/config/media/file-system" target="_blank">https://example.com/admin/config/media/file-system</a> for your settings).<br>
So you'd also have to copy those files. However, you should already<br>
see your imported nodes after importing the (correct!) database.<br>
<br>
You can find the name of the database in<br>
sites/default/settings.php or<br>
sites/<a href="http://example.com/settings.php" target="_blank">example.com/settings.php</a> (depending on your configuration, look<br>
for the $databases array)<br>
<br>
Even if the menu doesn't work, you should see your content in<br>
<a href="https://example.com/admin/content" target="_blank">https://example.com/admin/content</a><br>
(or http, if you don't have ssl configured)<br>
<br>
Good luck! Ursula<br>
