Need help!!!

[praveer]

Hello all,
I had phpBB installed already and was using it. A few days back I decided to install phpBB seo mod. But I downloaded premod instead of ultimate URL. And uploaded premod onto my server. And when I visited my site it showed me installation page of phpBB. I then understood that I have downloaded premod (actually I had forgotten the difference between premod and Ultimate URL that premod is for those sites which dont have phpBB already installed and ultimate URL is for those sites which are already using phpBB on their site). So I did not continue with the install process as i had phpBB already installed and I went to cpanel and deleted the install directory. Now when I am visiting my site its showing that install directory not found and 404 error. Can anyone please help me how to solve the problem.

Will really be grateful to anyone who helps.

I have the DB backup. What if I reinstall phpBB all over again and import the DB...Will it solve the prob?

[rareyush]

have you delete your database from cpanel.
If not then just delete all files from public_html and reinstall the phpbb with that database and no posts will be deleted from there

I have not deleted my DB from cpanel.

Simple go to your HTTP://Domain/ACP and change the Server Setting and make it index.php.

Its simple no need to reinstall the whole forum.

Open config.php

Update your database details:

$dbname = 'database name';
$dbuser = 'database username';
$dbpasswd = 'database password';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_'; 

Might have to change:

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', false); 

to

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true); 

Example of full config:

<?php
// phpBB 3.0.x auto-generated configuration file
// Do not change anything in this file!
$dbms = 'mysql';
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbport = '';
$dbname = 'database name';
$dbuser = 'database username';
$dbpasswd = 'database password';
$table_prefix = 'phpbb_';
$acm_type = 'file';
$load_extensions = '';

@define('PHPBB_INSTALLED', true);
// @define('DEBUG', true);
// @define('DEBUG_EXTRA', true);
?>

Why do people reply when they have no clue about the problem.

Do what Cory said & remove/rename the install folder.
