Hello,

After a hard drive failure on my webserver, all of my drupal installation files were deleted however the databases were on a different drive. How do i recreate my drupal installation using the same databases and retain all of the stored data? I have attached a picture of my control panel where the databases are. thanks

Should just be a case of reuploading drupal, and then manually editing settings.php:

change this line:

$db_url = 'mysqli://username:password@localhost/databasename';

to your existing database.

Then to be sure, run cron + update.php

Also, you must upload to sites/all/modules any additional modules which you had been using (if any). You may have lost your uploaded files.
