    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?

    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!
