just took over

[wade c]

Hello all, just took over hosting and a forum that had crashed a couple months back, hosting is on fatcow and I have a backup copy of the forum. My question is where do I upload this backup so I can hopefully restore this site? I am a nuts and bolts type person and this stuff is all too out of my realm of knowledge. I know its smf 2.0.2.

Thank you all in advance!

upload all forum files to public_html folder
and go to your myphpadmin, add a new database, import the database
then download, upload and run a repair_settings.php http://download.simplemachines.org/?tools
