 * Hello everyone. I tried to get onto my site today [http://troyhoover.co.cc/](http://troyhoover.co.cc/)
   and I came to a page that said I have a database table error. I clicked the button
   to try to repair it and it came back with a page that said it couldn’t be automatically
   fixed and told me to post my errors here on these forums. This is the list it
   gave me:
 * wp_users: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_users’ doesn’t exist
    wp_usermeta: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.
   wp_usermeta’ doesn’t exist wp_posts: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist
   wp_comments: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_comments’ doesn’t exist wp_links: Table ‘
   troyhoov_db01.wp_links’ doesn’t exist wp_options: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_options’
   doesn’t exist wp_postmeta: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_postmeta’ doesn’t exist wp_terms:
   Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_terms’ doesn’t exist wp_term_taxonomy: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.
   wp_term_taxonomy’ doesn’t exist wp_term_relationships: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_term_relationships’
   doesn’t exist wp_commentmeta: Table ‘troyhoov_db01.wp_commentmeta’ doesn’t exist
 * Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

 * is this a fresh install or did you have some data.
    If you have data then do 
   you have back up that you can restore.

 * This is a site that has been up for about a month. I have all the data backed
   up locally.
 * Is my next step to completely reinstall wordpress?

 * Where is your MySQL database hosted? I’d check that first to ensure it’s up and
   running. You should also verify the path and credentials to your MySQL database
   in your wp-config.php file. If it worked before then _something_ has changed…
 * If you can access your database, and the settings are correct in wp-config, then
   you can try reinstalling WordPress but I suspect this is a database, not WordPress,
   issue.

 * It might also be worth contacting your hosts to see if they have a backup of 
   your database.

 * Thanks guys. I just checked on the forums of my hosting site and a few other 
   people have had this problem. I am on x10hosting which is free, so I can’t really
   expect much since I am not paying anything. This website is an assignment for
   one of my college courses. After I finish the year and start working this summer,
   I am definitely going to pay for some real hosting so I won’t have to worry about
   some of these issues as much.

 * Ouch! This is one of the real downsides to using free hosting. I hope they get
   it sorted asap. If they do, grab a backup of the database as soon as you can –
   just in case.
