 * Is this a fresh install? If not, do you have a recent database backup?

 * it’s a fresh install actually. i can create a new database for it though. I am
   running it locally. it’s just on wampserver. I have just tried to create a new
   table name “wp_posts” which won’t work because i don’t know the exact names that
   the columns should have.
 *  what do you suggest?
