Actually I posted this already in the stick update thread but I figure it actually doesnīt really belong there.
I know itīs mostly my fault but hopefully someone can help me anyway
What I did: I saw my board being down (because it was and old version and a check revealed that to the lunarpages staff) and figured I had first to update it to a recent version before it suddenly starts working again ( didnīt think of asking for php being turned "on" again first...I didnīt know how they closed the forum).
So I simply copied the whole folder via FTP to my Harddisk and deleted the online version. I couldnīt log on to the administration panel of the boards to make a database backup- I figured that wouldnīt be too much of a problem later since the database still exists anyway- I can link to it later.
Well now I did a clean install and wanted to restore the database but it doesnīt work. I downloaded the database by accessing my
cpanel and then used the mysql database module and then the phpmyadmin link. Afterwards I tried restoring the forum using this very sql file I downloaded. Of course it didnīt work.

Can anybody tell me whether I still have a chance to restore my board without loosing the messages/registrated users? I know i should have waited till the support activated php again to backup my database properly.....
I tried uploading the old forums folder via FTP again to backup them now but all I get is an error message like:
