 * Yup! erased, not deleted. This means the blog won’t open up. The blog header 
   is affected.
 * The whole php line and files actually gone, invisible, like cut out of the page.
   The kb is 0 meaning zero or zilch.
 * How do I put this item back.
 * address: public_html/wp-config.php

 * Well, hopefully, you have a backup. If not, you can recreate it using the wp-
   config sample file included with WordPress. You’ll need to know the database,
   username, password, and server name.
