 * Not sure what the version is, a friend just gave me a call and asked if i have
   any idea what is up with his site…I am at a loss:
 * Basically when you go to his site, it redirects to wp-admin/install.php. The 
   install.php page is completely blank. This came on all of a sudden.
 * Any ideas on why it could be redirecting to that? Under what conditions would
   this happen? I will try to get his hosting info later, but it would be nice to
   get some ideas so I can have someplace to start at.
 * Thanks!

 * Wow! WordPress is very amazing community!
 * I have got the solution now, thanks to **[Whooami](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/7432)**
 * Below is the fix, just follow the instructions, very simple!
    ** When your website
   redirects to wp-admin/install.php [FIX] :
 * > 1. Login to phpMyAdmin.
   >  2. Select the database and click on ‘Structure’ tab.
   > 3. Right under the list of table there is a “Check All” link. Click on it to
   > select all tables. 4. From a “With selected:” drop-down menu right next to 
   > it, choose “Check table”.
 * **To Repair:**
 * > 1. Login to phpMyAdmin
   >  2. Choose the affected database. If you only have one
   > database, it should choose it by default so you don’t need to do anything. 
   > 3. In the main panel, you should see a list of your database tables. Check 
   > the boxes by the tables that need repair. 4. At the bottom of the window just
   > below the list of tables, there is a drop down menu. Choose “Repair Table”

   regularly. at least for me it does. 🙁
