trying to install, its already installed

  • app is trying to reinstall

    Welcome to the famous five minute WordPress installation process!

    but its already installed.

    what i did is put a site up on a testing server, and then when i went to go live i copied the database, and did a search and replace with the SRDB file, that worked great. now i wanted to make some adjustments on the testing, and bam, its having weird issues where either when i load the home page, or when i load /wp-admin it will direct me to install it.

    i have checked my wp-config.php file its an exact duplicate of the one for the live site, i have verified that the 2 site urls in wp_options table is good. what is triggering this?

    im a LAMP developer, so please respond in technical terms. Thanks in advance.

    Check two things.

    1) Does your wp-config.php still exist?

    2) In that file, it references a DB. Does that DB still exist on your server?

    thanks for your response!
    well, i got it fixed, i had already checked the obvious. It was a permissions issue in the mysql table actually, i had to mess around with teh db users for a long time until things got reset.
