what are you trying to do?

Check the table prefix variable in your wp-config.php file and make sure it’s the same as what you have in the DB.

Default value for table prefix in wp-config.php is ‘wp_‘

Im trying to install wordpress using Xampp,

I have been following these steps https://www.wikihow.com/Install-Wordpress-on-XAMPP

When I press install wordpress button I get
One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.
Then when I click repaired link and repair database button, then it navigates to a page with list of wp_tablename dosen’t exists.

These are the folowwing tables that doesn’t exist ::
wp_posts: Table ‘wordpress.wp_posts’ doesn’t exist
wp_comments: Table ‘wordpress.wp_comments’ 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
wp_term_taxonomy: Table ‘wordpress.wp_term_taxonomy’ doesn’t exist
wp_term_relationships: Table ‘wordpress.wp_term_relationships’ doesn’t exist
wp_commentmeta: Table ‘wordpress.wp_commentmeta’ doesn’t exist

I tried dropping and recreating the database, but I find the same error again and again.

Any help would be of very much help.
Thanks

Yes, its the same prefix ‘wp_’,

Just try with a new empty database. OR you could drop all tables from the current DB and let WordPress create the tables.

drop your database and try again. you have phpmyadmin right?

I have tried dropping the whole database and creating it again(3 times till now, even used different names and changes the same in config files too), but that didnot work
