Posted 1 year ago #I think you need to navigate to a different place, I've just installed to but I went to the following...
yoursitename.com/wordpress/Try that, it should work.

Posted 1 year ago #Oh I know why now, what is the folder called with all your files from WordPress in?
So say you have all your files in the root folder of your site, go to;
"www.yoursitesname.com" and then it should work, or if it is in a sub folder like;
"www.yoursitesname.com/blog" then go there and it should work. -

Your website is currently unavailable:
You are seeing this page because the system administrator of 000webhost.com is currently checking this website for malicious content. This redirect page will be removed once we finish manually checking all files on this account. Since we check over 100 websites per day, it can take about 2-4 hours to complete. If you are the owner of this website, you will get an email confirmation once it's done.

If that's where you uploaded your files, you'd go to
mysite.netau.net/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php -

Can Anybody Help? -
Try downloading WordPress again and delete then replace your copies of everything except the
wp-config.phpfile and the/wp-content/directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings. Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don't forget to delete the original files before replacing them. -
Posted 1 year ago #i have the wordpress instal up but it says database problems could not be repaired and said to copy this to the supposrt forums:
wp_users: Table 'a3513415_karlobd.wp_users' doesn't exist
wp_usermeta: Table 'a3513415_karlobd.wp_usermeta' doesn't exist

You may need to manually repair the database.
Access your WordPress database via phpMyAdmin (most hosting providers offer this in their control panel), check all of the tables, and choose "Repair tables" from the pull-down menu.

Posted 1 year ago #I did it but no change on the wordpress side,

And the tables do exist?

Posted 1 year ago #yeah

Do you have a working backup that you can restore from?

Posted 1 year ago #what do you mean ? i could try re-upload wordpress

Sorry, lost my place on what we were doing in this topic. Since this is a new installation, just delete the files and database and try reinstalling everything.
