Accident: Overwrote configure.php

So I was moving my site over and accidentally overwrote the configure.php in the admin/includes folder with the configure.php in the includes folder. The site works fine but now I can't access the admin area, help? :oops:

You do make regular backups, right?

What exactly do you mean by that?

Was it sitting a little too far to the left or something? :blush:

No I was moving it from https://www.ponyrparts.com/store to https://www.ponyrparts.com

You do see the importance of making regular backups (of not just all your files, but also your database), right? ref: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=103

:censored:I followed the steps in step3 and now the site is back to it's default settings.

This is great, now I'm dead in the water, I exported the database via PHPmyadmin, and tried importing it back, now everything's screwed.

Simple fix create a new username and password for the data base. Then go to your open config file in includes and in your admin and manually configure it with the new user and password you created in your control panel for that database.

Ok, did that, site is up again, but I still need the right configure.php. Can't I just use someones and edit it?

As per the link I posted, there's a dist-configure.php file in that same folder, which you can use as a model to plug in the correct information.
