 * I’m able to view my blog. However, when I run a plugin I end up with a blog setup
   that has two // (slashes) between .com and blog in the URL. I’ve deleted the 
   blog contents from my ftp program, and even deleted the database twice! (the 
   last time giving it a new name). After uploading it each time, when I go to install,
   WP continues to see the db as being already installed. I get a message saying
   something about “clearing the tables.”
 * Any idea what I can do to get rid of the old database so I can create a new one?
   BTW, in case you need it, the url is [http://thecomputerauthority.com](http://thecomputerauthority.com).
   Thanks for your help.

 * ‘a plugin’ – is that any at all or just one?
 * As for install / tables, you can change the
    $table_prefix = ‘wp_’ in wp-config.
   php to something else $table_prefix = ‘wp2_’ would do.

 * Podz, thanks for your reply. Had a hard drive crash, that’s the reason for this
   delay.
 * It’s, to the best of my knowledge, just one plugin for a specific program that
   is causing this problem but it’s an important plugin.
 * Could you give me a bit more specific reply for the install with changing the
   tables. That could be a great solution but I’m not clear on exactly what to do
   to achieve it.
 * Thanks again for your help.
