I have had my site up and running since January 2011
Today I visit my site and it's simply the 5 minute install page!
I visit the server via ftp and it shows all of my files intact?
I tried to back up to yesterday when I know it was running properly but after that, it's still showing the wordpress 5 minute install page!
PLEASE HELP ASAP! I NEED MY SITE UP!
THank you!
Is your wp-config.php file still there?
Is your DATABASE still there?

Both my Database and my wp-config.php file are still there.
Hi thatsauto,
I did a quick search and found that several other users have reported similar issues:

The WordPress codes has a guide on how to repair your database. I recommend that you first "check" your tables first before repairing them, and be sure that you make a backup before working with your databases!

Can you give us some insight to how you resolved that issue?
Probably resaved permalinks.
