Okay that file is usually fairly static unless you have changed settings since the last backup. So even if the file is months old as long as the paths are correct the control panel will open and you will need to update what has changed since then, The real important stuff is the paths and mysql table stuff I posted. Which can be corrected via notepad.
Once you do that you may still need to save things in the control panel such as the paths and URLs section to update the table
