Hey guys, so to cut a long story short, I've been developing a website on wordpress (pretty big website) for the past two weeks and earlier today I changed a setting in the general settings (pretty stupid of me, but I thought, what's the worst that could happen, all I did was change the url of the actual website, I thought I could change it back if it didn't work) and now all my stuff is lost, I cannot afford to spend another two weeks on this website as it's going live sometime in a few days.
I've got a back-up, but whenever I try and put it back onto the server space, nothing happens, it just doesn't load, it does the same as before, any ideas, any tips?

Find a nice corner, and cry softly in it for a few hours.
More seriously, maybe try the wordpress support forum? http://wordpress.org/support/

If you do post on the support forums, you will need to be much more specific about what you did in the first place, and how you have tried to fix it.
-
Did you try to change the setting back and re upload the files? I assume you changed the blog directory?

Yeah, I did that, it's just not working, I'm going to delete the directory, re-install wordpress and overwrite using the back-up and I'm praying that works. :/

It probably changed your apache config

If you have access to a tool like phpmyadmin, you might look at the database. There's a table called wp_settings or wp_config or something similar, and it has a few rows that contain the site's path. You might be able to doctor it back to the right values.

Good answer ^^
