 * Looks like your WordPress database either doesn’t exist or doesn’t exist with
   the prefix (rugl) with which your site is trying to connect to it.
 * Go into phpMyAdmin or whatever other database tool your host offers and take 
   a look, or ask your host to do it for you.

 * If you only see 4 or 6 tables, then WordPress is not installed correctly.
 * If you have a database backup from when things were running correctly, try reinstalling
   WordPress and restoring from the backup. Be careful not to touch wp-config.php
   or the wp-content folder (and any other files you may have touched) and take 
   all the other usual backup/safety precautions.

 * If this is a brand new site, if you had no content yet and had made no theme 
   customizations yet, I’d probably just drop the entire database and start over
   with a fresh installation. Something obviously went awry.

 * I have the same problem – fresh install, missing tables (xampp/usb/win7):
    wp_users:
   Table ‘wordpress.wp_users’ doesn’t exist wp_usermeta: Table ‘wordpress.wp_usermeta’
   doesn’t exist wp_posts: Table ‘wordpress.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist wp_links: Table‘
   wordpress.wp_links’ doesn’t exist wp_options: Table ‘wordpress.wp_options’ doesn’t
   exist wp_postmeta: Table ‘wordpress.wp_postmeta’ doesn’t exist
 * I have dropped db/reinstalled wp at least 10 times with no change. I only today
   was able to actually run the repair database function, up until now I got now
   results just returned to the repair page. To fix that I changed the $cfg[‘ExecTimeLimit’]
   = 0; in xampp\phpMyAdmin\libraries\config.default.php – this gave it unlimited
   time to execute as it had appeared to be running very slow.
 * Will WP work if I create these tables on my own?
