deleted original sections

Hi everyone,
thanks for creating this tool Vaska and Eatock.
not sure this quite an installation issue...anyhow, here's what.
There are several "sections" or "pages" that exist by default such as "info", "about this site" or "home", if I remember well (because I renamed them of course in the process...). I've deleted one or two them, just being now left with "info".
trouble is now I cannot recreate my "home" or "about this site" where to put my blurb: (http://www.asitisphotography.com/).
I've totally reinstalled indexhibit, then also used the "site reset" script which told me "all looks good"...(and erased those files install and reset from my server afterwards)
So where are those initial pages gone?
Are those really needed or will creating a new section replace them (although I have the feeling they do not have the same functionality)?
thanks!!
bests

hi again,
so after some forum reading i figure i have maybe deleted MAIN and that the way to go to solve this is:
- delete current Sql database from server and recreate one
- reinstall indexhibit
- remove tables PRIOR to doing that
thing is, i don't understand what "deleting tables " refers to...
i understand there could also be a way by going to my phpadmin from server as well...
can someone please help?
thanks!

You either delete and recreate a database or delete the existing ones tables with PhpMyAdmin. Not both...
Check out the "How to reinstall" link the Useful threads post in the top of the forum...

double clicking the Post button is bad. Bad - bad- bad.

thanks for your reply Arsondpi, i'll creating a new database after having checked, again, the useful threads (and sorry for that double clicking which i wasn't aware of).

FYI: deleting my existing Mysql database,and creating a new one allowed me to return to the original Indexhibit layout options.
If anyone wonders, with OVH, careful that when accessing the Myphpadmin page you are shown the correct information to your server(should be the one you originally received by email along with access codes), and also when logged in be aware "empty" does not mean delete the tables, it's "drop" that will delete the tables). sigh....phew...TX!
