For some reason i have double checked all my codes, php and msql stuff, but when i go to upload the install it comes up with:
_('Already Installed').'
'.__('You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.'
Its as if it has not installed properly as things are all over the page. and im stuck with what to do. can someone help me
If you just want a new WordPress install, then open the wp-config.php file and about 3/4 of the way down find the table prefix. It is probably set to wp_ Change that to wp1_ save the file and visit your blog address to set-up a new blog.

hi my table prefix is just wp_ is that ok?
That's okay, but if you are getting the "already installed error" and you just want to get past that and have a new, empty blog, then just change that to wp1_ and save the file. Then when you visit your blog you should be prompted to set-up a new blog.

Hi, I'm having the same issue. I get the code saying that I have already installed etc. I have wordpress installed successfully for one user and have installed wordpress to a separate folder for a new user. I have created my database and have changed the wp-config to link to that database. The database is completely empty. I had this problem with the other installation as well but it was quite some time ago and I can't find the solution on your forums. I have tried everything suggested with no success. I am using the same server for both installations and I am viewing the install.php with firefox. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and created a second database (deleting the first).

im so confused, i dont have a blog already, im starting from scratch this set up! and the wp1_ doesn't help either, when i open up the file in the web browser now all i get is the 404 error of my url?

Same problem for me, can you tell me how You fixed Liz evans', if you fixed it ?
1st be sure php is actually enabled on the host
if so, then login to your host's phpmyadmin
select your database
select all tables (put a check by them)
scroll to bottom
from drop down menu select "Drop"
then click Go
done

I'm using a local server with MAMP.
There are two databases in myphpadmin :
- information_schema (28)
- mysql (23)
I dropped the tables for "mysql" but can't do it for "Information_schema". An error occurs saying :
requête SQL: Modifier
TRUNCATE
CHARACTER_SETSMySQL a répondu:Documentation
#1044 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' to database 'information_schema'
Sorry, it is in French.
I don't know what else to do.
It still says :
'.__('Already Installed').'
'.__('You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.').'
If you have any other idea, please.

I get this same error. I was working on an old XP partition which had a pile of legacy. I when and bought Windows7 Ultimate, did a clean install, and just installed WAMP and I still get the "You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first"
This is not possible and there's only the OS and WAMP???? I don't even have MSOffice installed. The WAMP and WordPress install file were downloaded today.
I tried all the suggestion for prefix_table tag, when I browse to my localhost I see the DB I listed in the "My Project" on the localhost page from the wp-config file but when I select the db I get "Error establishing a database connection".
I do not know what to do?
