HELP!!! missing configure.php from live site!!!

Need HELP!

while I am installing v151 on my demo site, however for some reason my live site got affected.
the demo site DB is a copy from my live site using MyPhp some some...
I have no problem access my demo admin panel,

I file a request to my webhost to see if they can help me out,
they told me that they can not see the configure.php under public_html folder,
I checked it, and it is not there >_<

can anyone tell me what to do?
I thought I can find a copy of configure.php from my backups, they it is no where to be found.

HELP!!!

By the way, the website is: http://the4thmuse.com

Can I copy the configure.php from Zen-Cart 1.5.1 and replace the configure.php from 1.3.8 for both /admin/ and /includes/ directories? will that work?
since my DB is the same for both my live and my demo site.

Hopefully umade a backup of your live site before going through with all of this.The configure.php file should be located in the store's root directory/includes and store's root directory/your_admin_folder/includes. They are each a different folder and over time the configure.php file has been modified to apply to each new version. I can not say that a 1.5.1 version of the configure.php file won't workon an older version, but do know that there are differences between them.

Should have made a 2nd database for the upgrade test.
