Can't run initial set up because of redirect loop

  • So, I have a site already that I run wordpress on. I am setting up a second site, which I decided I could run wordpress on as well.

    They are two separate domains, but run on the same server.

    Here’s what I did:
    I downloaded wordpress.
    I copied the wp-config.php from my existing site.
    I changed the table prefix for the database from “wp_” to “8ball_” and left all the other settings and info for the database the same.
    I uploaded all the wordpress files to my server.

    When I access my site, it takes me to “/wp-admin/install.php” but all I get is an error saying the webpage has a redirect loop.

    Please advise.

    Update:
    Tried 3.7.2 and still having the same problem.

    This is not really a problem with the WordPress version, it is something to do with your configuration. Though you are trying to run two different sites the same server using WordPress, it is not called a multisite installation as you have two separate installations of WordPress (hope you are installing into different directories). We need a little more detail about your sites, what is your primary domain which is already working with WordPress and what is your new domain that you are trying to setup which is giving the redirect loop?

    I’ve been working it over with my friend who usually handles the server stuff, and we finally got it working. It looks like there has been some problem with file privileges. I’ll share some more info when I have the details, in case someone else has this problem.
