Unavailable databases after installation

    Hi,

    I am a relative newcomer to WordPress and need to re-install a website.
    I have safeguarded the files that used to be there and uploaded the latest version of WordPress to my ftp server (using Cyberduck).

    Now I get this message when going here: https://www.celsius-europe.eu/wp-admin/install.php:

    One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.

    And then:

    Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../../wp-load.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (../.;d:\www\php\htdocs\tmp) in d:\www\celsius-europe.eu\htdocs\wp-admin\maint\repair.php on line 5

    Warning: require_once(../../wp-load.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in d:\www\celsius-europe.eu\htdocs\wp-admin\maint\repair.php on line 5

    Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘../../wp-load.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\php5\pear’) in d:\www\celsius-europe.eu\htdocs\wp-admin\maint\repair.php on line 5

    Can anyone help me with this?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Your web host is very restrictive with directory permissions. I’d find another host, as you’ll just run into more and more problems down the road. And get Linux hosting instead of Windows; you’ll have an easier time installing and running wordpress:

    Thanks, but since I don’t want to lose my website name, I am not sure I can switch so easily, or is this wrong?

    In case I would like to stay, what can I do about the problems identified?

    Your website name and your web host are completely different animals. At your domain registrar, you point your DNS at your webhosting company, whichever that might be. So you can change a host easily.

    But tell your existing host your problems; maybe they will help and loosen permissions.

    The database issue might be the way you moved and imported the database from your old site.
