    I installed a new wordpress site today and changed the database, host, username and password in wp-config.php to the old database I was using before, but none of my stuff shows up.

    I tried to follow these instructions: http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting
    but when i log into phpmyadmin it doesn't look anything like the description and I couldn't see any way of repairing anything.

    Now I am looking at this:

    when you log in your host click on database and there should be option to repair database.

    is that the same as restore database?
    That's the only thing I can see anywhere. The Wiki implies that repair can be done in phpmyadmin, but there is not repair option anywhere that I can see. I'm sorry!

    I finally solved it. I spoke to my host and they did something - not sure what and then it worked.
