(I can still use the database theres nothing wrong with that for sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I can still use the database theres nothing wrong with that for sure) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can delete the catalog - BUT I wouldn't even do that - the re-install will overwrite what you have - just make sure you do not select the option to re-import your database else you will lose all your products - but even this is not a total disaster because if you do a backup first you can restore the backup over the re-installed database if you goof up Charles A kite flies highest AGAINST the wind !

One more question if I may... How do I initiate the reinstall.... ive looked on the forum and cant seem to find any info. All I did first time round was copy the files over and then called the file by the web to do the configuration (as is in the documentation).
