‘wp-config.php’ already exists Softaculous Installation

After some searching, I believe this may be caused by an old version of WordPress that is being installed by Softaculous.

Also, take a look for this line at the bottom of your wp-config.php file, remove it and try again.

require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/setup-config.php');

By the way, if you can access Softaculous, then you have all the information you need to completely bypass using Softaculous and simply install WordPress manually using an FTP client (you can login using the same login info as cPanel).

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much! Once I completely bypassed Softaculous and created the database myself everything seems to be working perfectly.

I didn’t even have to remove the line from wp-config.
