 * hi all .
    i have a problem with an install of wordpress, ive had it installed
   there some time with no issues but for some reason the /wp-admin link is not 
   there anymore and when i try to back up it says Error: This is a failed install.
   It should be uninstalled. i did get a message saying it was a database problem
   but the database seems fine.i have cloned the site to another location and also
   downloaded the admin content and includes folders in a zip so no problem replacing
   the site . is there a way to repair this ,which is my preferred option or will
   i need to completely uninstall wordpress and reinstall from scratch on the same
   domain ? any help would be appreciated .

 * What was the message? And why do you think the database is OK?

 * ive checked the database in myphp and sql databases .the only place it doesnt
   show is in my wordpress console . i think ill delete everything ,install a fresh
   installation of wordpress then upload the 3 folders that contain my blog content.
   the message seems to change ,the only thing i find strange is the missing link
   to the back end.
    i wouldnt pay it anymore mind i think ill get it done
