Uploading d7 to a junk domain that I keep around for play. Anyway, I edited settings.php to point at my existing database (which I deleted tables from *after* I uploaded d7 folders to an empty public_html folder) Anyone know why my site looks like this: differentwindows.org
The only thing I edited in settings.php is these few lines

* 'driver' => 'mysql',
* 'database' => 'edited',
* 'username' => 'edited',
* 'password' => 'edited', ( my password has an apostrophe in it. could that screw it up?)
* 'host' => 'localhost',
* 'port' => 3306,
* 'prefix' => 'myprefix_',
* 'collation' => 'utf8_general_ci',

I ran the install.php script and that didn't work so what ever should I do?

Your root directory is empty.

It lacks all the files there, starting with index.php which handles all the requests: http://differentwindows.org/index.php

yeah I MUST be rusty. None of the files were there, I dragged them all over, but some must have gotten left behind by accident. Thank you much! now to just figure out why my database isn't being found by drupal, separate issue I can probably figure out
