installation

Hi all,
Rookie here so hoping someone can help while understanding I know next to nothing... I made a joomla site on siteground on a trial. When the trial was expiring I wanted to upload it to the existing domain where the old site was. After a week of failure and constant online chats with the host, the website vanished with all my hard work. Ok, I know I can rebuild the site, and the host put a blank joomla on for me so I won't have the same problem again.

However, I can't find how to reinstall EB - I'm using the same laptop as I originally downloaded it to, and I also have a copy of the files from the joomla site it was on, which all seem to be stored as separate files. How do I get them all to become one event booking file that I can install again?

Thanks guys

Lesley

You could manually rebuild the install archive -- google for something like "Joomla build component installation package" and see if that gives you results. I'm not familiar with the process myself, but the installation scripts that the original EB package used to install itself might not be present on your site, and a repack-and-reinstall would ultimately fail. Maybe everything is there and a repack will work just fine.
Best option: If you are a current EB subscriber, you should just be able to download the package again from "My Downloads". If you made code-level changes to your EB install on your test site, then you can re-apply those changes one a fresh reinstall is complete.
Note: EB stores all of it's event / field / registrant data in the mySQL database. If you are trying to move your EB setup over to the new host and don't have the mySQL backup, then you are starting over from scratch as you won't have any of the data that you entered into EB on your other host.
