Not a great way to get SP working but at least your site will be up for a bit.

Are you saying you extracted the package to the sources directory? Or did you just overwrite the one file?

Did you get an error when you uninstalled thru the package manager? I'm not too sure how much of a help I can be, but I'm sure someone around here might know what the best fix would be for you.

Post by: Eliana Tamerin on October 18, 2009, 11:46:31 PM: SMF automatically backs up SMF files when you install a mod. You can look in /Packages/backups for a file with simpleportal in the name, and unpack those files and overwrite.

You'll lose any mods you installed after SP, but you'll be able to run your forum.
