hi group,

I am Srikanth. In past I have one SMF FORUM version is  1.1.13x. I Lost Front end Unfortunately.
I have only only data base with hxxp:me.now [nonactive] i want to rebuild that FORUM.

I tried these ways

1. Installed New Version of FORUM and replaced with old db.
2. Installed  old versions of FORUM 1.1.13 in OLD php4 , mysql 4, and database replaced with old DB.
3. In These two cases i getting errors like database connection errors, Unknown column 'add_deny' in 'field list..

Please Provide be the BEST SOLUTION ASAP.

1- restore database
2- upload all files form the install archive -- BUT DO NOT INSTALL.
2a- delete install.php and the install sql files
3- manually edit the Settings.php file to match your URLs, paths and database information

4- download and use repair_settings.php to set the correct values for paths and urls in the database
