How can I do a fresh install of SuiteCRM using an existing database. I have an installation of SuiteCRM that may have been corrupted but the database information is fine. If I do a fresh install, and point to existing database, it will drop all the tables. If I do a fresh install and then change the database to point to the old one, it works, but I lose all the custom information on accounts, leads, etc… Is it possible to do a fresh install with an existing database?
run a quick repair and rebuild from admin and that should restore your custom fields
Hello,
the old instance is still running?
Your adjustments in Studio You have to export previously. If you have custom modules, these also. Use the same version, make a new installation and install all modules, then the Costum modules and at last the adjustments from Studio.
If e-mails and documents exist, copie the affected folders in / uploud / and / cache / images , otherwise you are missing attachments in emails.
Take a Quick Repair, but only at the very end.
If you have changed the language file, you should also copie / costum / -> (EXT / and / Language).
A lot of work
regards
Replace the database after installing Suite. Do not make Quick Repair until you have done the above steps
