It sounds like your config table is empty (no clue how). Your best bet would be to open install.php and take some code from there to insert rows back into the table. Then remove cache_config.php again and you should be good

Hrm. Well, I'm sorry, I really don't know what you mean by copying the code. What file
do I copy it to? Bleh. >_>; Also, now I can't access my forum. It says "There is no valid language pack '' installed. Please reinstall a language of that name."
I haven't touched anything since when you told me to delete cache_config.php

Try removing cache_config.php from the cache directory

Done with no visible results.
I still can't access anymore on my forum
than the administration or the index view
of the forums. Entry fields in the options area
are also empty.

So the other day I went to go rename the title and subtitle of my forum,
which is something we do alot on my forum. We keep it silly.
However, when I went into administration>options, all the entry fields
were empty. Everything. So I tried going back on the browser, as I
didn't want to fuck anything up. Then I saw that the title of the forum
wasn't there, and that I couldn't even access categories or thread links.
So I went into administration>options again, and tried entering some
of the information. I didn't understand or know what to put in most of it,
so I did what I could, and tried to click save. Low and behold, it said
I need to fill out every field in order to save anything. So the only solution
I could see was reinstalling the forums. I really don't want to do that though,
as alot of long and in-depth topics would be lost, alot of art, and also some
sites link to some of the threads on my website directly.

Is there a way to salvage this problem? Maybe backup the post database?
If that's a possibility, how do I do it? Also, somone on my forum asked if it
was possible to backup the posts and have them moved onto different forum
software. Is that possible? I really don't want to do that, but I'm not that
script savvy at all and lacking in-forum messaging can be annoying, along
with some other options.

Cheers,
Scott.
