Wordpress: ERROR: "Table Prefix" must not be empty - wordpress

So I'm trying to build a Wordpress website using AWS using RDS Aurora. I've installed the source code provided by wordpress.org and it uploaded successfully but after putting in all the information regarding the database it loads for a minute or two then says the page isn't working, when it reloads it gives me the error ERROR: "Table Prefix" must not be empty. I've tried many solutions but none of them are working

Check the URL of the installation page. It must have a .php suffix. If it doesn't, it's likely your .htaccess page is rewriting the URL and causing your POST requests to misdirect.
Edit .htaccess so it reads RewriteEngine Off.
This bug is often the result of inheriting .htaccess rules from higher directories.

In a fresh installation rename your wp-config-sample.php file with wp-config.php.
Then define you own table_prefix. Make it meaningfull related to your project. This table_prefix will be added as a the prefix of you tables in your database.
Example: $table_prefix = abcd_

500 Error after changing wordpress prefix

I changed the Wordpress database prefix with iThemes Security from the default wp_, but now it gives always 500 Error at loading the site :-(
I checked the database, and wp-config, and they seem to match, the plug-in changed the prefix correctly, also, I deleted the .htaccess file and removed the plugin from the wp-content folder.
Any idea how could I get the site back?
I carefully checked now my wp-config.php file and it was truncated, missing the end of the file (from languages defining), so I restored it from the sample, and it works now!
It was some mistake while the file was updated on the server (momentary interruption?).
Thanks.

Allow .htaccess edition

I'm trying to make my wordpress site more secure, so I need to add some rules on my .htaccess. But suddenly, I made the following mistake:
RewriteRule ^(php\.ini|\.htaccess) - [NC,F]
And now I can't write more rules in it. Everytime I try to edit, I get the message:
Error: Forbidden file edition: //httpdocs/.htaccess: filemng: Error
occurred during /bin/cp command.
I already tried to:
Delete the file and create again
Replace the code
Upload from my computer...
Replace via SSH
All in vain.
When I used SSH, the old code (standard htaccess generated by wordpress) was there, but somehow the rule is still applied on the file. I can't edit it.
What can I do?
Thanks & sorry for my bad English.
Try to connect to your webserver with filezilla or something else.
Here an example of the basic .htaccess: Wordpress .htaccess

Images in FTP but URL says page not found

So I have been reading all i can for the last 2 hours and have not a solution.
I moved my drupal site from one host to another, all works well minus:
images in the the 'sites/defualt/files' folder are in the FTP and i can priview them there but when got to the URL I just a page not found message.
example image URL: http://www.example.com/sites/default/files/image.jpg
this what's in my code and the path is correct but the image does not show.
Here's what I have checked:
Clean url's are enabled,
'admin/settings/file-system', set to public
'admin/settings/file-system', File system path: 'sites/default/files' as it should be
.htaccess in files folder is set to
SetHandler Drupal_Security_Do_Not_Remove_See_SA_2006_006
# Options None
# Options +FollowSymLinks
and I have tried it with '#' removed
I have tried leaving the settings.php $base_url ="" blank and with my exsample domain
I have the files folder set to cmod '777'
Checked the database files table, path is set to 'sites/default/files/imagename.png', which seems right
image names do not have spaces in them.
I have been flushing the cache for the testing different settings
I have run the cron as well.
I don't know what I am missing the files are there, the paths are even correct when i look at the rendered html, but the images are just not showing and the direct urls say 'page not found'
Any Help would be awesome, I thought i had this problem before and solved it but i have no idea I missed.
Thanks for any help
Hhmm, have you checked that all parent folders have at least the execute flag set so that you can browse into them? I think it is safe to set all folders as: 755
Another way to debug this is trying to download other files contained in other folders, e.g. the README in root or some files in the misc/ and modules/ folders.
Just deleted .htaccess file inside default/files it solved the issue for me..I dont exact lines of code need to be there in .htacces file..

After upgrading Wordpress, I get a fatal error "Call to undefined function require_wp_db()"

I followed instruction as mentioned in Wordpress, but I still got the error and referred Google and I was shocked to see many blog have same problem and they are not fixed yet and those blogs are indexed in Google, please try searching "Call to undefined function require_wp_db()" or find here
Google search result
Any advice how to fix? Thanks in advance
This will occasionally occur if you do not upload wp-config.php or all of the other files that have changed between versions.
Download a clean copy of the WP version you are trying to upgrade from the WP Release Archive.
Update wp-config.php with your database details, secret keys, etc.
Delete all files except for /wp-content on your server (hopefully you have kept all of your custom enhancements relegated to the /wp-content/themes directory as they recommend - otherwise you will have to diff against each individual file unless you've kept good track of your changes).
Upload all of the clean files except for the /wp-content directory
Run /wp-admin/upgrade.php
This question might have been misplaced on this site, but the cause of this error could be a general programming bumble.
Your problem could stem from ambiguous include paths. When using include / require / include_once / etc... if the filepath is not absolute, the file that gets included might not be the one intended. Read why here. To fix an ambiguous include directive, prefix the relative path with dirname(__FILE__).'/'.
A plugin or even your theme could be the culprit. A regex like this could help you find cases of this: (include|require)(\_once)?\s*\(?\s['"][^\/]
Example
I had a Wordpress theme for a multisite install that included a file like so:
require_once('sites.php'); Because sites.php was a file in the same directory, (and because the server's include path included "." -- the current directory), it worked.
However, because sites.php also existed at /wp-admin/network/sites.php, so this line caused the following error when trying to access the network dashboard:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function _get_list_table() in /www/OCE/WEBEDITOR2/wp-admin/network/sites.php on line 19
After trying the instructions in the other answer to no avail, I fixed my problem by finding and changing this line to:
require_once( dirname(__FILE__).'/sites.php' );
Note: In most, cases, Mark's suggested solution should be employed first in trying to fix this error after upgrading Wordpress, if only to eliminate other possible issues.

Wordpress Blank Install Page

I uploaded a freshly downloaded copy of Wordpress 4.2.2 here: http://www.onedayonemillion.com/test/ and all I get is a blank page.
There are no .htaccess or wp-config.php files in the root directory.
No database has been connected yet.
I tried the same in another directory (/dev/) and it did the same.
I have no plugins installed or activated.
This is a fresh copy.
I added an phpinfo file here: http://www.onedayonemillion.com/test/info.php
Why can't I even get the install page to show up?
I didn't understand why there is no wp-config.php in the directory, it would be good you post what is in the directory. Anyway, you can check items like (sometimes it is just that):
some files with no ending "?>" ending the file;
any require_once methods calling non-existing files
(you said no, but) wp-config has wrong or non-set definitions (user, database)
check permissions/ownership to the folder
Well, I know it can be lame, but I had problem with definition in WPLANG define,
so I put an
echo "<br> there is no error until here";
through the files untill I find that was missing a comma at the definition. If the phrase is displayed, your installation files untill that point are working out.
Your phpinfo says the display_errors is off.
modify your php.ini with this line:
display_errors = on
you should restart the server after modification.
you can only track the error only if the error reporting is on in the server
