upgraded Concrete version and now blocked out

Permalink
I downloaded the latest version of Concrete 5 and followed directions to back up the current files, which it did with sql. I can;t open that backup though, and it will not allow me to even access my web page at all. How can I can this back to the earlier settings? HELP!~

What was the version you previously had and what did you try to upgrade to?

"I can't open that backup"
How exactly are you trying to 'open' it and what messages do you receive (if any)?

"it will not allow me to even access my web page at all"
Do you get any messages or just a blank page?

To restore your site you typically remove the existing files and copy over the ones you made a backup of. Then you 'drop' your database tables and import the SQL backup you made.
