I stuffed up my Joomla! 1.5.14 site

I replaced my index.php file with the template/index.php file and don't have a backup of that particular file.

As a result the site now says "Restricted access" when previewed, which I believe is a common error. The administration area still works fine.

Is there any way I can save myself from having to start over?

Any help would be a blessing.

ASKER
the index.php file in the root directory of the installation was replaced with index.php from the template folder, i.e. same file both in www.site.com/ and www.site.com/templates/

Is there a standard index.php file I can replace the one in the root directory with?
