    Hello,

    I have installed wordpress 4 or 5 times now with no problems. However, I’m helping my dad install wordpress for his website and we keep getting an error. It says:

    WordPress

    To allow use of this page to automatically repair database problems, please add the following line to your wp-config.php file. Once this line is added to your config, reload this page.
    define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);

    We did this and just got more errors so I uninstalled it and tried again, but got the same error. Where do I even start to figure this out?

    (we installed it on directory temp3 in the public_html)

    At what step are you getting that error?

    After we install and click on the link they refer us too. I believe it’s the wp-admin link.

    So the install runs, it makes the wp-config.php file for you, and get this link: http://bedtimetonight.com/temp3/wp-admin/

    Which is

    One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.

    Go to the database and verify that there are tables there?

    I’m so sorry, but where and how do I find the database to verify?

    How did you create the database in the first place?

    Well, I’m helping my father and he said he bought the domain. Purchased hosting and they helped him point the domain and then they told him where to upload files. He basically wrote a homepage in html….that’s it. I’m not sure where in that process he could have created a database. He has no knowledge of it.

    Thanks for troubleshooting with me. I really appreciate it.

    Okay, you need to make the database somewhere. Check his hosting package. You should have sme back end control panel (cPanel, plesk or whatever else they have). But you need the database 🙂

    As per the link you provided, your database need to get fixed…

    add this line to your config.php

    define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);

    WordPress prob. can fix this issue for you automaticaly. ;o)

    we did that and it did not change anything. they just listed all the errors afterwards. Then we uninstalled and tried to install again, but came across the same problem. We are in contact with his host and they are trying to help, but are getting the same error. Hopefully they can help figure it out.
