Deleted Install.lock

[Veronica210]

My site was hacked today with the insertion of free20.com code.
I tracked the hacker code down to the include folder. i deleted all its files and replaced the files from backup.
I didn't realize that install.lock was not on the backup...now Coppermine thinks it isn't installed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to reinstall and destroy my existing gallery.

Just create an install.lock file yourself and upload it.

You can leave it empty.

Post a link to your gallery.
