 * Hi,
 * Due to improper closing of database my wordpress website database has gone corrupt.
   Whenever I open the site I see the URL is ending with “<websitename>/wp-admin/
   install.php”. When I contacted hosting company they replied as below:
    “We request
   you share or upload the listed domain’s databases as .sql file on your domain
   path. So that we will restore the database and can update you further.”. I have
   not taken the database backup. What file I need to check/correct to overcome 
   this issue? What is the resolution here?

   which when opened gives -> “[http://www.ecigarreviews.com/wp-admin/install.php&#8221](http://www.ecigarreviews.com/wp-admin/install.php&#8221);

 * If it’s a database issue, there isn’t a file that you can change. Donl;t your
   hosts have a backup of your database?
