Is it be possible to install XOOPS again (The same version) and when installing it use the old database that way I don't loss any information?

If so where would I find instructions to follow? Also is their a way to double, double check that version I have as I believe I have version 2.2.3 but I thought it wouldn't hurt to double check.

Look forward to hearing peoples responses.

I believe you can find the XOOPS version in the XOOPS root/include, look for version.php.

Nope, dunno. I wouldn't want to touch that one. Better that one of the more experienced XOOPS user help you with that one. It is definately above my level, all I would do is break it.

Definately back-up yoursite and database before undergoing such a procedure at anytime.

Just overwrite all of the files except mainfile.php and you will have a new installation with the same database.

Have you tried enabling PHP Debug in the system general setings?

What was your reason for reinstalling?
