Need help!!!

[praveer]

Config file is absolutely clean as all the previous files have been overwritten with the ones in the premod or to be more clear overwritten with the files of new phpbb (files with which we install a fresh phpbb)

You still have your old database.

Remove all files out of your root directory.

Reinstall phpBB using an auto installer or manually do it.

Goto MySQL databases (Don't delete the database).

Three ways:

First one:

Goto phpMyAdmin, Download old database.
Goto 'New Database' of the new installation and 'Drop all tables'
Upload old database.
Forum should be active.

Second one:

Delete old user (or create new user with password)
Delete the 'Connection' from your 'Old User' (NOT YOUR DATABASE, RECOMMEND BACK THIS UP BEFORE DOING ANYTHING)
Add new user to your old database;

Refer to my previous post on updating the config file.

If you're not sure, I'll more than happy to take a look for a rep point.
