Symphony.

I'm a novice user. I accidentally deleted all the files from my site, so then I copied them onto my server from a backup and the site didn't work. I updated Symphony (I had a really old version). And now I'm getting this: (Any suggestions/instructions a novice could understand? It would be greatly appreciated...)

Symphony Fatal Database Error: Table 'colombi8teoballve.symsessions' doesn't exist

An error occurred while attempting to execute the following query

Can you empty the cache in the Database, and empty the sessions table. Then also empty browser cache to be safe.

Reload and see what happens.

I suppose the problem was that there was no sessions table, so I created it using the instructions on this other forum post but now I just get "server error" in Chrome and a blank/white page in Safari and Firefox.

Any other suggestions out there?
