 * While updating to WordPress 2.7 I mistakenly deleted my existing config.php. 
   Now I can not log into my page. How do I get to work around this? My backup folder
   is corrupt no thanks to Auto back up plug-in.

 * If you know the values that were in the wp-config.php then just rename the wp-
   config-sample and put the proper values in place for host, user, password and
   prefix.
