• Would appreciate some advice.

    I completely removed my copy of WordPress and deleted the database. I then re-installed WordPress, carried out all the necessary adjustments and went to http://mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php but got the message that ‘One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.’ Went through the desired procedure with the results below

    The wp_users table is okay.
    The wp_users table is already optimized.
    The wp_usermeta table is okay.
    The wp_usermeta table is already optimized.
    The wp_posts table is okay.
    The wp_posts table is already optimized.
    The wp_comments table is okay.
    The wp_comments table is already optimized.
    The wp_links table is okay.
    The wp_links table is already optimized.
    The wp_options table is okay.
    Successfully optimized the wp_options table.
    The wp_postmeta table is okay.
    The wp_postmeta table is already optimized.
    The wp_terms table is okay.
    The wp_terms table is already optimized.
    The wp_term_taxonomy table is okay.
    The wp_term_taxonomy table is already optimized.
    The wp_term_relationships table is okay.
    The wp_term_relationships table is already optimized.
    The wp_commentmeta table is okay.
    The wp_commentmeta table is already optimized.
    Repairs complete. Please remove the following line from wp-config.php to prevent this page from being used by unauthorized users.
    define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);

    Removed the line above and went back to http://mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php but again get the message that One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.
    It keeps going around in circles.

    Any suggestions?

  • looks like you have corrupted files somewhere does your host provide a install program like fantastico most common for cpanel hosts if so delete everthing and see if you can install from there.

    Thanks govpatel unfortunately my ISP doesn’t support fantastico, I’ll hae to do it myself – any other suggestions?

    you mean your host or you have hosting space on your isp account.

    check with your Isp if they allow you to install a wordpress may there are restrictions

    once you installed your wordpress you suppose to delete install file did you do that.

    Sorry for any confussion. My ISP does allow me to install WordPress – I have another one with them , and went through the five minute install with it no bother.

    I have database space with my ISP. I can access and edit my own database.

    As I haven’t any info up there that I’m particularly interested in keeping so what would happen if I just deleted ALL wordpress files and reinstalled them?

    Hi there,
    I got exactly the same issues as you kah22. And apparently there’s some more people having those issues as well but noone out there to resolve this?! Timicom was filing another thread regarding this 1 year ago and it was closed without being resolved. I went through the same steps as you and end up going in circles as well. I’m my own host as I install on a ReadyNas Duo. WordPress was functioning well for some time, then I needed to do a factory reset for other reasons and reinstalled WordPress from scratch. So this is a totally fresh installation. Nevertheless I do not get it to work! It fails to execute the installation properly and comes up with that stupid “One or more database tables are unavailable” error message. I’m about to give up and look for alternative solutions if there’s no solution in sight in a few days.
