just made a huge mistake please help

[richgeeks]

I just made a mistake and deleted a significant portion of the vbulletin software, and now that I have reuploaded it my forum just brings up a blank, white page. I have no idea why it is doing this, and al the files are in place, so I'm thinking maybe it is something with the database. Please help.

Make sure your config.php file is set correctly with database/password details etc.

If you clicked *install* then your mods will show up on the userCP of vb.org under "installed hacks".

*install* is your friend

ok thanx for the info...you will have to excuse me but i am a complete newbie when it comes to this. even with the information of the hacks that i installed i still do not know what to do

i also made a few of my own small modifications (such as putting google and banner ads at the top and only allwaying certain email domains to register) but i dont see why they would cause a problem

What did you delete exactly? If it was just files then chances are your DB is fine, has your FORUMHOME template been modified? If so I would revert it and also make sure you have a fresh copy of index.php uploaded.

I would take it one step at a time as to avoid causing more potential issues. So I would start by uploading a fresh copy of index.php and reverting your FORUMHOME template. If that doesn't reslove it we can take the next step.
