URL to your eFiction: http://www.cinemabizarrefiction.com/eFiction35
Version of eFiction: 3.5
Have you bridged eFiction, if so with what?: Probably not, since I don't even know what it is.
Version of PHP: My host doesn't show it. (if it helps, I use Free Hostia as server)
Version of MySQL: 4.1.22-standard-log
Have you searched for your problem: Yes, but couldn't find anything.
If so, what terms did you try: I accidently deleted config.php and that's when I got the error stated below. (Yes, I know I shouldn't have deleted it, I had one of many episodes of stupidity, sorry) I then downloaded another 3.5 file from the download section here and uploaded that config.php file on my server again but to no avail. I did do a back-up before my stupidity kicked in. But I have no idea how to run that back-up. (if it even helps, because I fear I have to delete the whole of eFiction on the server and start from scratch)
State the nature of your problem:

This is the error I get:

Not Found
The requested URL /eFiction35/install/install.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Going to sound silly, but have you tried taking the config.php file opening it up in Notepad and filling out the information of your website, then uploading it to your webhost? (Are you using the config.php file that is in the Docs folder of efiction's current version or one from an earlier version?)

Because you deleted the config.php and just uploaded a new copy without adding in your site's information, it wants to reinstall the script again. You'll need to edit the config.php and add your database information back in there. You'll have to get the sitekey from the database itself.

An easier way, since you have a back, is to locate that file in your backup and reupload it.
