    I am having trouble reinstalling wordpress. The host’s server crashed, and luckily I had just backed up my blog. But I can’t seem to get it to run now. I’ve installed the sql database and imported all the files…. I’m not sure what is wrong. I can’t use wp-admin.

    When I type my blog address, it brings up an index screen with the folders

    cgi-bin
    wp-admin
    wp-content
    wp-includes

    Any & all help is greatly appreciated

    The backup file is a GZ file & I can’t figure out how to unzip it on my computer. I have an older backup that I can use to re-upload the files, but I’d like to use the newer backup. Any ideas?

    update, thanks for your help apljdi…. I found a program online that would unzip the gz files and was able to manually reload the uploads folder! Success! ??
