 Severity:  major           |   Keywords:  siteurl
----------------------------+-----------------------------
 WP installed in a subdomain

 1. In Admin go to "Settings > General"
 2. Add for example "a" to the beginning of the "WordPress address (URL)"
 (siteurl)
 3. Click "Save Settings"
 4. It gives the following errors:

 Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter in
 /home/USER/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 76

 Warning: strpos() [function.strpos]: Empty delimiter in
 /home/USER/public_html/blog/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 76

 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by
 (output started at /home/USER/public_html/blog/wp-
 admin/includes/file.php:76) in /home/USER/public_html/blog/wp-
 includes/pluggable.php on line 890

 Then if going back and click for example again on "Settings > General" it
 gives a screen with this error:

 "One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be
 repaired."

 ...

 Checking the database the "siteurl" (in wp_options table) was blank
 (empty) - adding the URL to the "siteurl" (directly in DB) solved the
 problem.
