hmm, that would just backup solidcp it self, not really the IIS config files.

did you check in the iis history dir if it's still there? C:inetpubhistory

it normally automatically backups changes in the IIS, if your lucky it might of left this behind.

i do have some history files, how do i use these?

Hey,

You will need to use appcmd to dot his. You can find more information about that here: https://blogs.iis.net/bills/how-to-backup-restore-iis7-configuration

The main commands you will want is:

Run a backup of your current blank config:

%windir%system32inetsrvappcmd.exe add backup "Broken 2016"

Get a list of the current backups it can see:

%windir%system32inetsrvappcmd.exe list backup

Restore a old backup. replace "My Backup Name" with the name from the list backup command

%windir%system32inetsrvappcmd.exe restore backup "My Backup Name"

Do bare in mind that versions will have changed between upgrading to 2016 and dependency's may not be installed. You can use the eventlog to track any of these down if needed.

Kind Regards,

Is there no way of just reinstalling the portals? ive messed up iis trying to import the history's,

Hey,

You can reinstall everything using the installer but don't use the correct DB name for the Enterprise server (Also make sure you have a full copy of the SolidCP folder).

Once it has been installed copy the old web.config to the enterprise server folder and you should be able to use the same SolidCP login as before.

Thanks,
