    Hi folks, I have the following site nutterfamilytree.com it is basically a wordpress site that had a family tree software running within it.
    I can only assume that the mysql has been deleted in error. My question is can another database be set up to run within my wordpress without me having to make the whole site from scratch again?
    I think I already know the answer but have to ask.

    Thanks in advance

    * * * See if the host can restore from a backup before banging your head too much.
    * * * Lesson to learn, always take backups yourself.

    Yes, the database can be re-created without having to start from scratch on design work. You may be missing some data about plugins, etc. though.

    Try backing up all of your files and running through a fresh installation to create a new database. Then change out the files/theme you have customised.

    It looks like you currently have a 500 error on the site. That is usually caused by file permissions.
