CMS Made Simple Forums

ok guys some how all the cmsmadesimple files have been deleted from my cgi server. If I upload a new cmsmadesimple site can i drag in all the pages from the database?

You don't have to drag anything from the DB down, if you do an install, an link to the exisiting DB, all DB-data will be pulled, that isn't stored in the CMS-folder. Only be aware that you DON"T install the default content, as that would overwrite the existing data.

cool...how do i make sure i dont install the default content?? as you can see im not to good at this stuff 

Out of my head, the question is asked in "Step 4" of the installation. "Install default content" or something similar. You could do a backup of the DB first to be sure....

So no tables and content in step 4...... As there are tables already and the data inside is what you want.....
