Recover projects

Certainly! If you've set your SSD as a slave in another computer, you can access the files stored on it. PHPRunner projects are typically saved in specific directories, depending on how you configured the software.

Here’s how to locate your PHPRunner projects on the SSD:

1. Default Project Location: By default, PHPRunner projects are usually stored in a folder in your user directory. Look for the following path:

   C:\Users\<YourUserName>\Documents\PHPRunner Projects\

   Replace <YourUserName> with the actual username you used on your original computer.

   
   

2. Custom Project Location: If you chose a custom location when creating your projects, you’ll need to remember where you saved them. You can search the SSD for folders that might contain your project files. Look for folders that might have names related to your projects or PHPRunner.

   
   

3. File Extensions: PHPRunner project files typically have the .ppr extension. You can perform a search on the SSD for files with this extension to find your projects.

   
   

4. Database Files: If your projects connect to a database, ensure you also back up any database files or connections. If you used a local database (like MySQL or SQLite), you’ll need to export the database from the original setup as well.

   
   

5. Backup: Once you find your project files, consider making a backup to an external drive or cloud storage to prevent future data loss.

   
   

After you locate your project files, you can open them in PHPRunner on your new system or the same system if you decide to reinstall it.

If you need further assistance with PHPRunner or have other specific questions, feel free to ask!

Davi, I see chatGPT gave the answer for versions prior to V11, V11 now stores in a Db, which version do you have?

Hi Chris, thanks for replying, I'm using version 11 and 11.1

It's going to be in a database then.

I asked a question previously as I wanted to backup the databases just in case of a failure. There's some info where the DB is stored, also In that thread is a reply from Sergy which is a link to a more detailed post re the storage of projects in the database.

while it doesn't explain how to restore them, it might point you in the right direction on how to recover the projects.

Hi Chris!
Thanks for your great help. I was able to resolve the issue with your information. Here's a record of the solution for others who may have the same problem. Project data is stored in two folders, located at X:\users\xxxxx\AppData\Local\ and X:\users\xxxxx\AppData\Roaming. To see these folders, you need to enable the display of hidden files. With PhpRunner closed (this way, PostgreSQL won't be running), simply copy the folders that start with phprunner from the old SSD to the C: drive (same path, only changing the drive). After that, the projects will appear on the PhpRunner screen!
