 * 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. There are also many
   threads on this topic on these forums: [http://wordpress.org/search/Error+establishing+a+database+connection?forums=1](http://wordpress.org/search/Error+establishing+a+database+connection?forums=1)
