Topic: How to reinstal without loosing db data?

Hello,
I´ve had some problems with my punbb so I decided to intall it again..How should I do it if I dont want to loose my database data?

By the way..reason why I want to reinstall it is that it suddenly stopped letting me come into admin section..just reports "CGI error etc...". Everything else works perfectly fine.

Thanks,
Visa

You can safely replace all files in the punbb-directory. It's only config.php you need to save, but as it's not in the zip-package, there's no problem.

I copied it again in the same directory, but this same error comes forth again when accessing admin section.. " CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers."

Anyone??
