Ack! I was having some issues with getting an index to work, so I thought I'd try turning the indexing off and on again.

I deactivated it,  but then the site went down and gave me the error below. I checked ...\App_Data\Sitefinity\Configuration on the thought that it might have lost its database connection, but nothing's been modified for over a month.

Hi Ernest,
 

If the project has been upgraded make sure the upgrade has been performed according to the documentation, please, go to Administration-Modules and see what the status of the Search and Indexes module is. Try installing/activating the module. 

Additionally make sure application pool's identity has read/write permissions to the App_Data folder of the project and that is owner of the database and its schema.

Also check our Documentation on setting up IIS to host Sitefinity projects:

http://www.sitefinity.com/documentation/documentationarticles/installation-and-administration-guide/create-a-project/creating-and-running-projects-on-iis
