   Hi guys,

   The site: http://overratingtheunderrated.com

   For some reason, my site is showing an install page as opposed to the site. What's happened here? It was working fine a few hours ago, and has suddenly reverted to this.

   I can't reach your site at all. Have you tried contacting your hosts?

   Not yet, wanted to see if it was a WP issue first.

   Sounds more like a hosting issue. Have you checked your database since the problem(s) started?

   @esmi I managed to get there (it took a long time, close to two minutes), and it's loading http://overratingtheunderrated.com/wp-admin/install.php.

   @ajay182, login to your site via FTP, and verify that the index.php file is present (in the same folder as install.php, noted above). When I typed in http://overratingtheunderrated.com/wp-admin/index.php, it took me to a "500 Internal Server Error" page.

   If your index.php file is there, then this is definitely something to contact your host about.

   Don't mean to sound like an idiot, but how would I do that?

   It should be possible using something like phpMyAdmin from within your hosting account's control panel. The re-appearance of an install screen implies that the database has been completely emptied - although this could be due to an issue at your host. The fact that I can't reach your domain at all also suggests that your hosts could be experiencing some kind of problem.

   Seems OK now, thanks for the time :)
