  1. Could be you need to set the $table_prefix in your wp-config.php file to the correct value. Look at your database that contains the WordPress tables. If the posts table is called wp123_posts then your wp-config.php should have this:

    $table_prefix = 'wp123_';

    Note: If WordPress sees a new $table_prefix it tries to do an install.
