My VBulletin forum got into serious problem, please help

**Jani** · Apr 20th, 2009, 10:34 am

I was trying to install a program but I uploaded that program's folder to a wrong folder on server. When I realized, I checked those files from the folder on my computer and deleted them from server.

But I think I deleted some "VBulletin" files too, I managed to upload those config.php, functions.php and index.php files that was missing but now I am getting Database Error when trying to open my forum.

Can anyone please help me fixing this issue?

It is in the config.php file but I am not sure what exactly I should write in there to get it working.

If anyone of you is expert in this please help me.

Thanks

I am not expert but I am quite sure the problem is only in the config.php file.

I want someone who can guide me what to write in the config.php file to make a connection with database. I am trying myself as well but it is not working.

You don't have a backup?

I have a backup but I don't know how to use it?

I mean it is a backup of ALL sites, so which files I should upload and where to upload?

I have never uploaded the backup so I don't know about it.
