Hi all,

Hopefully you can help - I accidentally deleted some of my production files while attempting to do a publish into another directory (I accidentally specified the wrong directory).  I didn't have a backup of my files, as I wasn't yet into production with the website, and frankly, I should have been doing that a long time ago.

How can I create a new instance of DNN, and then modify the web.config, et al to bring my dnn site back online?

I've tried making a new instance of the application, which works, and then changing the web.config connection string settings to the old database, however I get an application unavailable message when doing so, which makes me believe there is some sort of ID that is being used to verify the right DB is being used.

In the database, I see there is a table called aspnet_applications, and in that table there is an ApplicationID - is that a key I need to use to somehow associate the dnn instance to the database?

Any help on this would be GREATLY apprecated.

Thank you!
