    Hey all,

    I accidently erased the wordpress folder and the files. I almost ate my tongue when i stopped realized that the actual blog posts, etc are stored on the database.

    So I then figured I would just re-install WP on the same database.

    But when I did this it gave me the "Already installed" message. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

    thank you.

    You shouldn't have to run the install program if the details of the wp-config.php and database are same. Just install the files and login. It may prompt you to upgrade after you login.
