    [Forum] Server rewind and I broke the forum

    Can someone help us 'unscrew the pooch"?

    I was uploading a plugin with filezilla and drug it to the wrong folder - was supposed to go to the forum root and it went to a sub-folder. I caught the error and quickly clicked what I thought was the plugin folder and accidently clicked the forum root folder. - Damn, Filezilla and the server sure worked fast

    I immediately went to my cPanel and used my Server Rewind to restore the forum files - but for some reason, we are now getting a Error 500. Tried restoring different days, tried restoring the database from different days, tried clearing the cache, manually using tools.php. None of that seems to work - still getting the Error 500

    It is vBulletin 4.2.5 running on PHP 5.6

    I installed the tools.php and am able to access that file ok so that tells me the server is working as it should. but don't have any ideas why the restores won't work. I tried multiple dates (have 30 days worth) and all do the same thing

    Ideas?

    500 is just a generic server error, it doesn't actually tell you anything about the problem.

    You'll need to look in the server logs and find what the actual error is.
