Accidently Reinstalled Zen-Cart

I misread something and I accidently reinstalled zen-cart.

Is there anyway I can undo this?? All my products have been deleted and this is really stressing me out.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not without backups... no.

Maybe your host has a backup.

My host provides a daily backup service for a small monthly fee of $2... If yours offers such a service, then you may consider this for the future.

Re: Accidently Reinstalled Zen-Cart

Well, I don't know what you did EXACTLY... If you re-installed zencart into an existing installation, and you ignored screen warnings along the way, then what's lost is lost - particularly in the database.

If you followed the CUSTOM template "over-ride" principle, then your files may still be intact.

Explain exactly what you did - in detail - and then we can proffer more accurate advice.

Well all my images are still in tact. I just can't see the products on the Admin page or see EZ page stuff, and yes I probably did ignore a lot of things, I trust things w/out fully thinking a lot which is dumb on my part.

Any idea what exactly I did?

Re: Accidently Reinstalled Zen-Cart

Only YOU know what you did... You say you accidentally re-installed zencart.

What did YOU do to effect this "re-install" ?
