Can you use phpMyAdmin to ‘drop’ all the tables?
The idea is to install WP directly on the server; copy the theme from your local install to the server; and them import the XML file with all your comments, posts, pages, etc.
Like me, it seems you tried it the hard way (MySQL tables, etc.) first.
Go to local Admin Panel ( Dashboard>Manage>Export ) and save the XML file to your computer. Then, from your external server, go to Dashboard>Manage>Import and locate the XML file you just created.
I had no localhost problems after that

WordPress 2.x.x uses a cache file. You MUST delete the cache or this will not appear to have worked.
