WordPress already installed. You appear to have already installed WordPress.

  • I have MYSQL Server 5.5 installed and PHP 5 installed on a Windows Server 2003 SP2.

    I previously had a database set up for and existing wordpress site and was trying to set up a second site. I created a new database and new user and granted privileges to that user. I then entered in the information the wordpress “config.php” file as requested and continued to set up the new site.

    When I went the the appropriate url (rembaproject.com/wp-admin/install.php) it tells me that wordpress is already installed and to reinstall it, I need to clear my tables. Now whenever I go to my url, it automatically sends me to my other website, which is picoink.com. I am not sure how it got set up so that when I got to what is supposed to be my new website, it sends me to the website that was already there. I think somehow the new URL was added into my existing database and now it send it there, but I don’t know how to fix it.

    I’ve double, triple, quadruple checked the settings in the wp-config file to make sure that it is pointing to the correct database. I’ve deleted the new database, recreated it again, deleted the wp_config file and started from scratch again, tried changing the prefix in the wp_config file to wp1_. I’ve done all the steps I can think of. Checked the privileges, flushed privileges, deleted and readded user, changed names, tried a different database name, everything I can think of.

    Any suggestions????? Please help!!!!!!!

  • There has to be some problem in .htaccess file as that is only file that may be redirecting try resetting the file.

    Where do I find that file? I have tried showing hidden files and I can’t find it.

    First what server you using is this linux server if so than there must be one in root as if there was not one there cpanel creates a blank one as its a must in root.

    I have been reading how to use multiple blogs on server you can check it out here .

    It says on there that you need to use different prefix on each database.

    Please read through the details in my original post. I know its long, but I already answered those questions. I am using a windows server and I have already tried changing the prefix on the database.

    That is reason why you do not have .htaccess file as you are using window server and its known that there has been problems using permalinks on window server.

    Ok, so then I am back to the same spot of not knowing how to fix the problem.
