CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

So, I'm a moron; I accidentally deleted my entire drupal folder and have since discovered that my webhost's not-exactly-guaranteed automated backups are as unreliable as advertised.

The databases for both CiviCRM and Drupal are intact, at least. With Drupal, I understand that re-uploading the files and various modules should be fairly painless. Is there anything I should know about CiviCRM before I do the same with it? Can I just grab the install files and re-upload them, pointing it to the existing database, or is there more to it than that?

If you can bring yourself to help an absolute moron, it'd be most appreciated!

C.

Accidents happen to everyone.

CiviCRM is the same as Drupal in this regard--just upload the correct files and then point the settings files to your databases (and directories). Make you sure the get the correct version of CiviCRM, however, unless you also want to upgrade now.

Sounds a bit odd. One approach is to install CiviCRM fresh, but with a fresh, empty DB. Then it makes the settings file for you.

Or you can try to make your own. Here it a standard one for 3.3.5:

Not sure. Seems odd. If it worked before and the files and DBs really are the same, then it should work now. Unless something changes, or something in the VPS configuration changed...
