From the looks of other posts, its because Local didn’t get to backup the SQL database. When I try and log in on Adminer, it says it doesn’t exist. The SQL folder seems to be missing from the APP directory. is there anyway to recreate the database or something like that because this is a clients site that I don’t have enough time to recreate it.
