Yeah that may be possible. Are you sure I should delete that? Because that database is mentioned as the one being used by WordPress, if seen from the Install Central. :S

I tried all of this, nothing worked though.
But I can now access my Dashboard!
This is what I did :-
I noticed I was getting a blank screen, as well as the ‘headers already sent’ error, so I removed all the excess spaces from my wp-config.php and wp-db.php files. I referred to the FAQ here : https://codex.www.ads-software.com/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F

I can’t believe that all this happened because of a few spaces in those files. Anyway, Thanks for all your help! ??
I am curious about the 2 WordPress Databases though. Isn’t that strange? since the Database entered in the wp-config.php file does not match with the one mentioned in Install Central?

Ok I can see my website now.
This is what I did :
1. I edited my wp-config.php , and inserted the database ‘xxxx_IC_20100702_173653’ in ‘define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘xx’);’
(although this database is not mentioned as the database used by WordPress in Install Central)

But I still cant log into my Dashboard.

okay wait. I just realised I have 2 databases for WordPress!
One is xxxx_IC_20100702_173653 which has:
‘# wp_commentmeta
# Browse wp_comments
# Browse wp_links
# Browse wp_liveshoutbox
# Browse wp_liveshoutboxarchive
# Browse wp_liveshoutbox_useronline
# Browse wp_messagebox
# Browse wp_options
# Browse wp_pollsa
# Browse wp_pollsip
# Browse wp_pollsq
# Browse wp_postmeta
# Browse wp_posts
# Browse wp_terms
# Browse wp_term_relationships
# Browse wp_term_taxonomy
# Browse wp_usermeta
# Browse wp_users
# Browse wp_visitor_maps_ge
# Browse wp_visitor_maps_st
# Browse wp_visitor_maps_wo’

And the other database is xxxx_IC_20100721_181238 (This is the WordPress Database indicated through the Install Central), which has:
* Browse wp_commentmeta
* Browse wp_comments
* Browse wp_links
* Browse wp_options
* Browse wp_postmeta
* Browse wp_posts
* Browse wp_terms
* Browse wp_term_relationships
* Browse wp_term_taxonomy
* Browse wp_usermeta
* Browse wp_users

I’m lost now. How is this possible?

Do you mean the fields under wp_posts such as ID, post_author, post_date etc? then yes.

tried repairing the tables. No luck!

ok I deleted ‘Maintenance Mode’ from the plugins directory. And I can see my website now. Except that there’s NOTHING now. It’s just the basic layout of the Arras Theme I was working with. None of my posts or anything. ??

Same thing has happened with me right now,except I installed WordPress a month back. Very strange

and I’ve had this website for more than a month. So it’s rather strange that such a thing happened suddenly.

yup got it! There’s a launcher.php file.
Another problem though, I’ve created pages and published them, but I can’t see them on my website. I can’t see the page names above the header.

oh I suddenly got it!
Thanks for your help! ??

ok I reinstalled WordPress directly into the root

Now I’m getting this page when I go to the domain:
This site is under development
This is a default template, indicating that the webmaster has not yet uploaded a Web site to the server.

For information on how to build or upload a site, please visit your web hosting company’s site.

now what?

this is what comes when I go to my site

Directory has no index file.
Browsing this site or directory without an index file is prohibited.

If you are the site’s webmaster, you can remedy this problem by creating a default HTML page with one of the following names:

* index.html
* index.htm
* default.htm
* Default.htm
* home.html
* Home.chtml

NOTE: Filenames are case sensitive, i.e., Home.html is not the same as home.html
