    I just put my backup from another server onto my new one; all the physical files are there now I just need my MySQL DB to work. I made a new DB on my web host, uploaded my .sql backup file into it, and punched all the write type into the wp-config.php file and when I go to access my site (www.supernerdparty.com) all I get is an infinite redirect to install.php but I thought I already installed WordPress in the first place. Will my fix be adding install.php?

    Devastating! I put install.php into the dir, ran it, and all my posts are gone! Shall I re-upload the physical files?

    you should just need to import database and run upgrade.php

    Wow! WordPress is very amazing community!

    I have got the solution now, thanks to Whooami

    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”

    Hi,
    months are passed, but I have the same problem.
    When I go to phpMyAdmin any table has got problems.
    So, what? Rapair does nothing and the problem still remain.
    Can anyone help?

    thanks.
