Quite an urgent question about installing

Hi all I recently built a few websites using zen cart. However the server went down and all our files were corrupted including the backs I had in place. The main MySQL is all there, however I tried reinstalling zen cart on one site and that wiped everything off which I will have to rebuild and start over again, but I do not wish do this again with the remaining 4 other sites.

whats the best way forward?

Re: Quite an urgent question about installing

If the MySQL database is intact, then make a backup of each of your MySQL databases. http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?144-how-can-i-do-a-site-backup-or-use-phpmyadmin-for-database-backup

Then re-install Zen Cart, and restore your database from your backup.

Similar process explained here: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?142
