Database has no wp_users table?!

[barbara schendel]

Hey has anyone ever run into this: I have a client site that I am going to be fixing up for him, so I'm trying to install it on a staging server, but it will not let me log in, and in troubleshooting why, I discovered that it does not have a wp_users table! Instead it has a "wp_people" table. This table has all the users in it, but evidently it does not want to run from a different url. Changing the password directly in this table through phpMyAdmin also does NOT work. 

Has anyone ever run into this? What might they have used to set this up so that I can un-do it?

If I can't get in, then will it work to just import the content-related tables into a clean wp database?

thanks!

Could you rename it to wp_users?

I could but I'm assuming that since it works on the live site, there is something else going on in the back that helps it look in the right place, which would subsequently break if I changed the name without also changing whatever else is in going on....

So what I'm doing instead is just importing all tables EXCEPT the wp_users/meta table into a fresh install of WP. That seems to work (so far).

Pretty bizarre though!

Thanks!

Check wp-config?

Oh okay I bet that was what they did. I found another way around the problem, but that at least clears up how they might have done it.  

Thanks!
