Connecting newly installed TC instance to existing DB
I have a DB from previously installed teamcity. The server was lost so I'v installed new one.
When I try to connect to existing DB (provide database.properties) I get "Found a TeamCity schema when expected an empty database" error
Looks like TC tries to set up schema , how can I make it use existing one?

Hi, and sorry for the delay.
As explained here: http://samirvaidya.blogspot.de/2015/02/migrating-teamcity-to-new-server-when.html
TeamCity pairs its database with its config directory. If the folder is missing, it will throw the error you receive and not progress. Because some parts of the data are intertwined, to maintain consistency you need to have both available.
