ERROR: “Table Prefix” must not be empty

You need to have the table prefix set in the wp-config.php file. It must be matching the same value in tables of your database, the default value is “wp_” but if you used a customized value for your tables to enhance security which is a good practice, you need to update your $table_prefix = 'wp_'; where you would change the ‘wp_’ to the value of your tables.
