I don't remember if I deleted it or just moved it to local computer, I searched my computer and it doesn't exist, and I looked at my website files. Is there a way to get it back with all folders/mod folders?\
Thanks in advance...

As far as I know, no...

Edit: I would try contacting your host

Ouch. I can't, godaddy takes like 10 minutes to answer phone, and we don't have long distance anyway, and the site usually seems to say at least a day for a answer...

you mean a database backup? yes, from a few days ago.

Will it restore files in packages dir?

Just recreate the folder in the forum directory and upload the packages you had installed.
PM at your own risk, some I answer, if they are interesting, some I ignore.

KensonPlays

The thing is, I don't have all the ZIP files, I delete most of them once installed...

You mean in packages Manager? It says that there is NONE installed...

Yea you killed that when you removed the packages folder. The best you can do is to try to remember which ones you have installed. Which is not a good place to be in really. You can do a file refresh and start new and then NOT delete important folder ;)

I did make a post a few days ago with a list of my mods, I will see if I can find it... (a post here on SMF)

Also...it's a good idea to frequently make not only database updates, but files updates to prevent issues such as this.

[THIS] one?
Do NOT give admin and/or ftp details to just anybody, see if they are trust worthy first!!  Do your homework ;)

If your using SMF 2.0 it logs whats been installed and uninstalled in the database also. $smf_log_packages (Just replace $smf with what ever your database prefix is.). 
No Pm's for support please!

KensonPlays

You don't have to post here anymore, I decided to do a reinstall (again... (5 time?))

Owner of Mesozoic Haven

Matthew K.

If this is resolved then, please mark it as resolved.

KensonPlays

It really didn't get "solved," but I marked it solved.
