Okay Everyone here's the deal.

I could not pay last month's hosting fee since I was in the hospital due to medical problems, and the hosting account was deleted. 

As a result, I paid to have the system restored from the backups ($$$$$) including the database's.  After a weeks worth of going crazy and only making myself sicker, I finally managed to get this far and get the site to find the database. Now I can not log in and fix the rest of the site.

I know that there was a tool that was used once before that works, (not the repair settings.php) although I am sure all the paths are wrong as well and the repair setting tool does not save the paths when I change them.


So I need serious help to get the site back up.and running correctly;


Where do I and how do I start to fix this mess?

Shambles:
Can you get into the database (phpMyadmin etc etc) ?

that may indicate a problem with permissions, what's in your Apache's error log?

JBlaze:
If you got the database backup intact, then all you'll need to do is import the backup using phpMyAdmin.

Once you have done that, you'll need to use repair_settings.php to make sure the paths are correct. Then you should be in business.

Should you still require assistance, don't hesitate to ask.

Orangine:
Did you bother to read what the OP said, or is it your standard copy&paste response, JBlaze?
