WP leads to install.php

h2b2 — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 23:00:27 +0000

Hello Forum,

I have a problem with my backup. I’ve done a backup with backup migration to a new WP installation. After I installed the backup to the new installation WP always leads me to install.php I can’t get to wp-admin or to any other page.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Error installing WordPress

rfrankenhoff — Fri, 11 Mar 2022 18:16:38 +0000

I am trying to install WordPress on localhost on Windows 10 for testing before upload it to my hosting service. I first tried to use XAMPP to install everything, but had to remove it. Then, I installed Apache 2.4, MySQL 8, and PHP 7.4 individually.

When I tried to run install.php I get the following message:
“There has been a critical error on this website.”

After investigation, it seems like wp-db.php is using mysql_connect() instead of the newer mysqli extensions.

Apache indicates that the proper modules are installed, including php7_module.

Here’s where the install.php seems to bomb:

Stack trace:
#0 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wptest\wp-includes\wp-db.php(724): wpdb->db_connect()
#1 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wptest\wp-includes\load.php(561): wpdb->__construct('deleted', 'deleted', 'wptest', 'localhost')
#2 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wptest\wp-settings.php(124): require_wp_db()
#3 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wptest\wp-config.php(101): require_once('C:\\Apache24\\htd...')
#4 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wptest\wp-load.php(50): require_once('C:\\Apache24\\htd...')
#5 C:\Apache24\htdocs\wptest\wp-admin\install.php(36): require_once('C:\\Apache24\\htd...')
#6 {main}
  thrown in C:\Apache24\htdocs\wptest\wp-includes\wp-db.php on line 1785

///

I have installed WordPress 5.9, which should have the proper extensions, or so I believe. Regardless, it seems like my installation wants to use mysql_connect() instead of mysqli .

Anyway, I am totally new to WordPress, and so it could be something quite simple. But regardless, I am stumped.

Any help would be appreciated.

During Scan the Admin Pages Redirect to INSTALL.php is this DANGEROUS?

SeanBanksBliss — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 07:20:16 +0000

So I noticed that when the scan is running if you try to click to any other page such as /wp-admin the system redirects to install.php

I looked and there is NO install.php file in my WordPress directory, so it must be getting created dynamically? …or hidden in the depths somewhere out of sight?

Maybe WordPress, sensing things are locked for the scan, assumes installation should occur and thus it offers the prompts because it cant access all it’s own files (I’m guessing).

This seems dangerous. The default screen it shows has the WordPress logo and a language selection box (Step 1 of installation).

What would happen if I clicked through that installation prompt?

It goes away and returns to normal when the scanning is finished, but if the user followed the prompt and re-installs; would that conceivably be a problem for any of the thousands of WordPress users who could encounter this?

Should an alternative redirect page be forced by WordFence prior to scan — to prevent some sort of catastrophic re-installation changes?

Maybe clicking through a reinstall during the scan is harmless? I don’t know enough to know.

As a naive user, it scares me that I’m being presented with the option.

Unable to run the install.php file correctly

Anonymous User 18249532 — Sun, 30 Aug 2020 21:19:14 +0000

Hi Guys,

Everything is in the title, I can’t open the install.php file in a browser correctly. First, I tried directly from my file manager in cPanel, but it showed me a weird page titled “Error: PHP is not running” followed by things that look to me like functions (I know nothing about PHP). I use a web hosting service called GreenGeeks and the PHP version is 7.4.9 and MySQL version is 15.1 Distrib 10.3.24-MariaDB. I then tried using a web browser to point to my website using the following url: https://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php, but I got a “404 Not Found” error. Since my wordpress folder is under /public_html/wordpress/* I then tried with https://example.com/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php, but I got the same error. Therefore, I guess that my website is not online, but I don’t even know how do so… I don’t know what to put my mind on anymore… The famous “5 minutes installation” is a “memorable 48 hours installation” for me now… If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Thank you everyone in advance

Great Plugin with One Hiccup

jaso0569 — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 10:03:48 +0000

This plugin is awesome and ended up working great!

With that being said, it wasn’t a completely seamless process. Creating the backup file of the original site was very straightforward and easy. In fact, uploading the file to the new site was very straightforward and easy as well. However, after doing so, I was unable to access my dashboard at first.

I kept getting forwarded to /wp-admin/install.php, with screen with a message that said something like “Please clear database…”.

After messing around a bunch in my SFTP client, the fix was actually much simpler. I was able to access the Users page directly, despite being unable to access the main WP dashboard. From there, I was able to navigate to the Updates page and reinstall my version of wordpress from there. That fixed it! Had I not figured that out though, I would have continued to be very frustrated. Perhaps this review will help someone else out there going through the same issue.

For reference, I use EasyWP from Namecheap. Cheers.

Woocommerce redirecting to install.php

dyayac — Mon, 25 Feb 2019 02:34:56 +0000

Hey to everyone who is reading this and thanks in advance for the help. I have successfully set up Woocommerce and linked it with Printify. I am able to add my products, but after a few additions the page automatically redirects to wp-admin/install.php. I have been searching through WordPress and Woocommerce threads with no luck. Would love some help! Report is below.

Redirecting to: wp-admin/install.php

praco — Wed, 27 Jun 2018 14:20:42 +0000

After i’ve stopped a WP Cerber malware scan by pressing WP logo (to visit frontpage) and confirm webrowser alert to leave a page i’ve been redirected to installation page wp-admin/install.php

Now when i want to visit my website by main address it’s redirecting me to installation page wp-admin/install.php

What’s wrong and how to solve it?

install.php re-appearing on site

JPecsenyicki — Tue, 20 Feb 2018 21:27:03 +0000

I have a few WordPress sites, and after installation I have always deleted the /WP-ADMIN/INSTALL.PHP as a security measure.

A year or two later, and INSTALL.PHP is back in the /WP-ADMIN/ folder.

Is this normal? Is it added during WordPress version updates? Is there a way to prevent this file from being reloaded to the site?

Following auto-update to WordPress 4.9.2, it presented a fresh install page

Wed, 17 Jan 2018 12:47:26 +0000

Today, it looks like it upgraded to 4.9.2, and it then redirected to wp-admin/install.php. I never got 4.9.2 working.

Other WordPress versions:
* 4.9.1 works, but it has security issues.
* 4.7.9 works. I believe this branch was working last week, so we’re staying here for now.

I’ve limited auto-update to minor versions. We have WP Super Cache installed, which masked the issue. We have other WordPress sites on this server, which weren’t similarly impacted by their own updates to 4.9.2.

I can surface and handle the issue by installing different versions. I worry other users could be impacted, and I’d like to help others avoid this issue.

Edit: Oops, this isn’t relevant to Login Lockdown at all. I’m not sure where or how to move it.
