# site down?

 * Hi
    I accessed my dashboard and wanted to see one of my articles and I found 
   myself on the setup WP page. It’s like I have to set up a new MySQL DB. All my
   files and articles are still there but not accessible through the website but
   via dashboard. I went to my Cpanel and I’ve seen that there is a new WP folder
   that has been installed in the public folder. I was surprised as I did nothing
   for that. I checked the php file wp-config.php and everything is fine there, 
   BUT there is another wp-config-sample.php with no set up for the DB.
 * I don’t know how to fix this and how this happened.
 * I’m not a geeky person and my english skills seem poor when I try to speak geeky
   language. Please help

 * Have you been keeping a backup of your site?
