 * Hello.
 * I have losed mi wordpress folder. I have only a database backup.
 * So i want to reinstall the wp and not to lose all my post.
 * I do a fresh install and after that in remove the new data base and I replace
   it with the old one. (The data base name , user name and passwords for new data
   base and old data base is the same) . Wen I access my blog I see again the installation
   guide.
 * Can anybody help me with an explanation to my pronlem?
 * What should I do to have my Blog back if I have the backup only for data base?
 * Thank you.

 * try put back your old database
 * download wordpress, take wp-config-sample.php, rename it to wp-config.php
    edit
   it ( set user/pass.. etc ) and overwrite it on the ftp
 * should work
 * note: the wordpress version that you were using was 2.6.1 ?
