Re: tables already exist?

you accidently deleted the files on the site? But the database is still there?

If that is the case, you should just upload the XOOPS package with the modules, you used to have.
After that, just make sure that the information in mainfile.php is correct (paths, database settings) and you should be good to go.

All the installation does is write the information to mainfile.php and create the database tables, but if you have already the database, all that remains is the database, which you can edit manually.

I re uploaded the back up site no probs but get a blank screen I am able to get into my admin section via a seperate link I kept. I have no idea how to find out if the mainfile.php is correct as I am not php literate i will copy the mainfile.php here for you to look and let me know if it is ok. I have also blanked out my password for my security! Also this is what is said when I try to do a fresh install. I really need to know what to do as its been offline for 2 days now.

If you put this mainfile.php in your site's root folder, it doesn't work? You get a blank page? That is maybe because you used to have a different theme that is now missing, or modules that are now missing?

OK, if you can get into the site's admin section (the XOOPS admin, not the domain admin), then the mainfile.php is correct and can be left alone. Now go to the admin section of your site and turn on php-debug (system admin->preferences->general settings). Then open a new window and go to the homepage, and see what is causing the blank page (you'll get some error messages).

With those messages, we can work out a solution.

Sounds like you already have a MySQL db named xoops. One way is to go into phpmyadmin and DROP the db.
