    Even after removing and reinstalling. Host is ipage.

    Went to my site to login and received message:

    Error establishing a database connection
    Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Went to the site wp admin page and was asked to repair database. Was given this summary and told to come to this forum for answers (host tech-support fairly useless as they don’t even fully read the help requests):

    wp_1_posts: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_posts’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_comments: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_comments’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_links: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_links’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_options: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_options’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_postmeta: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_postmeta’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_terms: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_terms’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_term_taxonomy: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_term_taxonomy’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_term_relationships: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_term_relationships’ doesn’t exist
    wp_1_commentmeta: Table ‘wrd_5h53ohilec.wp_1_commentmeta’ doesn’t exist

    Please, I am a newbie to wordpress and databases, how can I fix this? I thought a complete removal and reinstall (with the setting to make new database) would set things to normal, but no go.

    Thank you!

    -First, try contacting the hosting provider if the database server is online / if they have any other problem at their end, or they made any changes to your account, or if there are any limitations/restrictions, etc .
    – double check your wp-config.php file settings for the database name, database username and database password. This is where most errors occur.
    -Then check that you don’t need to change the database host from “localhost” to something else. You can get that info from your hosting provider.-Check you have actually created a database with the same database name as is in your wp-config.php file.
    -Last, but not least, if all that information is correct your database probably has a problem with it, and you may need to contact your hosting provider.
