Accidentally delete Web Application in Central Administration

Question
-
Hi,
I've just accidentally deleted a Web application from Central Administration in my SharePoint 2007 server farm using "Delete Web application". I've chose both "No" to "Delete content databases" and "Delete IIS Website". So, I've still had the contents of the virtual directory and content database.
I've tried a few things here but it is not working.
first, i tried to restore the content database of "Central Administration website" to earlier date, but the settings are not reverted.
then i tried to create a new web application under same port number "e.g 8000" and then create an empty site collection on it. Then I tried to add the content database of the original website. it shows the content db contains '0' site collection.
is there any suggestion what i should do?
regards,
Nick

Hello Nick,
It seems you are facing issue GUID, which is not possible directly when you restore the existing content database to same farm.
