Can you describe what went wrong? That may be beneficial to troubleshooting.
In general, download the version you need. Unzip it. Be sure you retain a working copy of settings.php. Do not overwrite the one on the server. You can prevent that by deleting the settings.php in your downloaded files. Also delete the install folder. Then upload everything to the server. You should be good to go. If not, recheck that settings.php has the correct configuration. Good luck!

I'm sorry for this extreme late reply, please let me explain what really happened and the help I need.
I downloaded the backup file of my former ElkArte forum website under MySQL database, and the proceeded to uninstall the ElkArte forum because my hosting plan was about to expire and I couldn't renew due to lack of money.
Now, please advice on how to restore my former ElkArte forum with the MySQL database backup file.
Thanks.

Import the database on the server. If you have phpmyadmin it's pretty easy, assuming it isn't a huge database. Follow the same directions as above. Then in settings.php correct file paths, database name, password, etc. It may also be necessary to manually correct some file paths in the database "settings" table. Good luck!
