Just had a server crash but was able to recover entire ubb directory and saved it as a TAR file. I uncompressed the file, did all the permissions etc but the cp.cgi file takes me to an install menu instead of the default "already installed" interface.

I thought if I copied all the ubb directories and moved them to a new drive (same site, same user etc) that the ubb would run

Anyway, as I go through the install process (it already recognises the paths) it says membertest.cgi missing and I dont have that file.

Does this whole process sound crazy or is this common??
