Deleted the folder and now major problem

[vaesir]

Hi there,
I've deleted by mistake the folder where I had the SMF install but not the DB.
Now I've managed to restore it from old Backup.
However if I try to access it I get a 404 error

Code Select Expand

404 Not found.
Unable to resolve the request "forums".

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

However if I add the "index.php" is fine.

http://moneyfreeparty.net/forums - 404 error

http://moneyfreeparty.net/forums//index.php - OK

Code Select Expand

$boardurl = 'http://moneyfreeparty.net/forums';


Any ideas why?
Thanks

It looks to me as if you have added the / to the end of the url in settings, even though you have no listed it here...   The URL in settings.pho should not have the slash at the end.

might be a good idea to run What is repair_settings.php? to verify that all the paths are correct.

tried this.
Did not work

"Did not work" doesn't tell us much.

What happened, exactly?

http://moneyfreeparty.net/forums//index.php is just weird.

I've managed to do it via .htaccess file :|

Why not just change the path, in Settings.php?

The way you've done it could result in other errors manifesting themselves, in the future.

according to what he posted in the first post, it is correct in Settings.php and repair_settings.php does not show anything wrong either.
