My blog is gone and WP wants me to reinstall...? (7 posts)

    There I was, dutifully entering a new post to my blog, and all of a sudden I got this page:

    Welcome to the famous five minute WordPress installation process!

    What!?

    What happened? My host shows that my WP files are all still there and my db is still there. Has this happened to anyone else?

    This just recently happened to me, and I don't know what's going on. I haven't been able to find anything on Google.

    Hopefully someone has a solution!

    If you type in an email address and press install, it'll show you all the database errors that are happening.

    Unfortunately that's as far as I got. I've now got a long list of errors that look similar to:

    WordPress database error: [File './blog/wp_options.MYD' not found (Errcode: 13)]
    DESCRIBE wp_options;

    WordPress database error: [File './blog/wp_options.MYD' not found (Errcode: 13)]
    SHOW INDEX FROM wp_options;

    WordPress database error: [File './blog/wp_options.MYD' not found (Errcode: 13)]
    ALTER TABLE wp_options ADD COLUMN option_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment

    Unfortunately I don't know how to create the wp_options.MYD file.

    Any help?

    thanks

    Anything new with this problem? It'd be nice to get my blog back up and running....

    On a different WP installation, I get errors such as:

    WordPress database error: [Can't read dir of './undemat9_wrdp1/' (errno: 13)]
    SHOW TABLES;

    WordPress database error: [Can't create table 'wp_terms' (errno: 13)]
    CREATE TABLE wp_terms ( term_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, name varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', slug varchar(200) NOT NULL default '', term_group bigint(10) NOT NULL default 0, PRIMARY KEY (term_id), UNIQUE KEY slug (slug), KEY name (name) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8

    WordPress database error: [Can't create table 'wp_term_taxonomy' (errno: 13)]
    CREATE TABLE wp_term_taxonomy ( term_taxonomy_id bigint(20) NOT NULL auto_increment, term_id bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0, taxonomy varchar(32) NOT NULL default '', description longtext NOT NULL, parent bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0, count bigint(20) NOT NULL default 0, PRIMARY KEY (term_taxonomy_id), UNIQUE KEY term_id_taxonomy (term_id,taxonomy) ) DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8

    A quick search on google (or your search engine of choice) would show that things like "(errno: 13)" are a MySQL error. In other words, your host's MySQL database is having issues.

    As such, you'll want to contact your host and share those errors with them so that they can fix it for you.

    I just got this error as well. I did contact my host (servage.net) and just got the message that I should reinstall the latest backup of my blog... "That should solve your issue"
    Well how about theirs...?
