site redirects to install.php

  • I just transferred a site over to dotster.com (windows host) and it’s been periodically troublesome ever since. The site at https://www.aedifex.org/wordpress frequently (but not always) redirects to install.php. Or when I try the login admin page, it redirects. Or if I try to add a new user, it redirects. I’ve contacted dotster help several times without much success. Either they can’t repro the issue, or they say I have to change to Linux hosting to resolve the issue. Anyone else have such issues? How can I resolve them?

  • it is displaying install screen for me right now.

    are you sure you have correct database prefix in wp-config.php file?

    I looked at the database in wp-config and I think it all looks correct. Table prefix is ‘wp_’. One of the dotster help messages said that database query limits are exceeded and that I need to upgrade service to a Unix based service so that query limits won’t be reached. Does this sound realistic or will I continue with the same problems?
