 * O-kay, I searched this forum for how to clear the database tables and managed
   to do it. Yay me, and sorry for not searching enough in the first place!

 * Update: I had the bright idea to backup the .htaccess file and then delete it.
   Then I uploaded the unzipped WordPress folder with the customized wp_config file
   again.
 * However, when I go to [http://mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php),
   it says: “You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please
   clear your old database tables first.”
 * Which database tables would these be?
