You could try asking your hosts if they have a backup of your database but, without that backup, all you can do is re-install WordPress and start re-building your site. * Thread Starter [glik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glik/) * (@glik) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222320) * That’s what I’m doing now. I’ve re-install WP. one of the 2 sites was re-built. How can I proceed when I get theerror message: “Not Found. The requested URL / wp-admin/install.php was not found on this server”.? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222322) * Re-upload a fresh copy of WordPress.

I’ve defined virtual host. double-checked all 3 relevant files: – hosts in windows\system32\drivers\etc – httpd.conf in …usr\local\apache2\conf – wp-config.php in…www\SiteName * virtual hosts appears right in admin panel “admin virtual host” * what next ? * [nsathees](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nsathees/) * (@nsathees) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222438) * Did you download a fresh copy of WP? if not do that! * Thread Starter [glik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glik/) * (@glik) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222441) * Now I did it. I’ve erased WP directory from Program Files, downloaded WP arain, extracted the file to C:\Program Files\Wordpress and copied all the WP files into …www\SiteName directory after deleting all files from this directory and changed wp-config-sample.php into wp-wp-config.php and adapted all 3 names of–‘ DB_NAME’ into SiteName – ‘DB_USER’ into a name I’ve created for my user – ‘DB_PASSWORD’into my password * the outcome is the same/ what is next ? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222443) * What’s the server url? And what’s the WordPress site url? * Thread Starter [glik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glik/) * (@glik) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222447) * There is no site on the internet. the site is on my computer and for that I’ve defined a virtual host as I’ve mentioned above. do you know where can I start checking after I’ve re-loaded again and again ? * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222448) * What’s the server url? And what’s the WordPress site url? * Thread Starter [glik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/glik/) * (@glik) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222449) * the server url in my computer is localhost (I presume) * Teh WP site url is vAHA4u (the virtual host) for the datavase called AHA4u * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-mismatch/#post-2222450) * Why are the two urls different?
