empty address book after moving account to other server

[annoklar]

Hello,

My accounts have been moved to another server. (using backup function in Direct Admin). After moving the address book is empty. Where are these addresses stored? Not in the useraccount.

gr. Anno

Users are stored in the users table with a unique 'user_id'. Contacts are stored in contacts table. They are linked to the user by 'user_id'. So if you have messed the 'user_id' field in users table, contacts are still in the contacts table but the link to the user is lost which results in an empty address book.
