Hi,
I'm an artist and graphic designer setting up a an independent publishing platform on Drupal. I used to work with Adobe software and decided to move to free software for philosophical reasons.
I began using Drupal 3 weeks ago on version 4.7.6 since my hosting provider (mt) has it available as 1-click install application.
I then upgraded to version 5.0 carefully following .txt instructions. Website running smoothly for a week.
I have no previous experience with php ot html. I have used the Graphic Interface to set up teh content and settings of my site.
Today I began the upgrade process to version 6.0 but in the process I got confused between default.settings.php and settings.php and while trying to change $update_free_access = from FALSE to TRUE I got confused between files and lost track of what I was doing.
I have lost/deleted my settings.php file from my work with version 5.0 and have no back-up of such file.
When I run the update.php script I get and installation screen instead of a step further in the upgrading process
How can I restore my settings so I can continue with my upgrade?
I suppose my content is safe in my MySql database managed through my server but it seems that since I lost my settings.php file I can't proceed further in the upgrading process.
