So I’ve moved a WordPress site from one hosting provider to the next, and I didn’t like the naming of the database tables. So I renamed the tables to something more preferred but then I received the below error message after successfully logging into the admin area.
The website itself works perfectly right, it’s just the admin section. Now the whole reason for me posting this is there is heaps and heaps of information about how to solve this problem but because WordPress is written for anybody to easily use, the answer was hidden by lots of people saying the same thing, that and, mentioning database upgrades that had gone wrong. But in this case that wasn’t the problem.
The resolution, there are some table fields that make reference to the table names some how so when changing the database tables you need to change the below entries too.
You will need to use phpMyAdmin, it’s normally installed with cpanel, but if its not its really easy to install, just make sure you secure it as many people attempt to hack it. Hopefully with out getting to technical, we will imagine our orginal tables had a prefix of wp_ and we’ve change them to wp_blog. Add your names as such below.
table , wp_options which would now be wp_blogoptions
– option_name , wp_user_roles change to wp_bloguser_roles
table , wp_user_meta which would now be wp_bloguser_meta
– meta_key , wp_capabilities change to wp_blogcapabilities
– meta_key , wp_user_level change to wp_bloguser_level
– meta_key , wp_dashboard_quick_press_last_post_id change to wp_blogdashboard_quick_press_last_post_id
– meta_key , wp_user-settings change to wp_bloguser-settings
– meta_key , wp_user-settings-time change to wp_bloguser-settings-time
Now you’ll need to make these usermeta changes for every user on your site, hopefully you don’t have too many.
I hope this is a help as it too me a couple of night to fully understand what was going on. Happy blogging 🙂

Well that was fun, not. I’ve just spent the entire evening copying virtual machines between these two drives because the left one decide 2.6 years was enough. Lucky Linux is smart and gives you enough warning to buy a replacement drive. Though unfortunately my exchange database store became corrupt during the fault and I’ve had to restore my mail plus rejected a heap before I realise what had happened. Oh well at least I didn’t loose the lot.
On a good note, I remembered all the commands for setting up a Linux hard drive off the top of my head. LOL as this website server was one of the ones affected, I had to, where normally I would look at my Adding a HDD to Linux post.

Yay!! I finally own one for myself. Good old eBay got me a bargain, This 877 and a 837 for $280 (including postage) not bad seeing the 877 sell for over $1000 new. I think the market is getting flooded with these now, as ebay have them for around this price almost all the time now.
I’ve got it to a super stable connection now. I needed to phone amnet and get my port slowed down, looks like my cheap modem would just settle at a slow speed and would be happy. Where as the cisco would push for high speed until it started losing packets, but wouldn’t reset.
So I was getting the below errors
*Mar 13 11:21:34.008: atmsar_vc_tx_start(8272D204).
*Mar 13 11:21:34.008: ATM0:atmsar_dequeue_pak, dequeued a pak = 0x82330F70

*Mar 13 11:21:34.036: ATM0:atmsar_dequeue_pak, dequeued a pak = 0x825E2418
*Mar 13 11:21:34.036: atmsar_transmit_pak_wrapper: deq(825E2418). vcd: 1.atmsar_transmit_pak_wrapper : encap = Data
So I was a bit worried for a while that I had brought a dud. But everything is looking good now. I’m going to have a bit more of a play with my config then I will post it so every one will know what settings work perfectly on the amnet network.
Goes well with my Cisco WAP4410N wireless access point doesn’t it.
