you say 'existing database' is this db compatible with the 2.xx series?

Hi mudassar, do you still need assistance on this? If you do, please let us know how exactly did you reinstall?

It may be that your new install is using a different database or prefix, and you might be able to simply point it to the old one
from the forum's settings.
