Hi,
My blog was functioning perfectly normally earlier today - but I just checked it, and it says:
It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php.
I haven't touched a thing. I've been out all day! Have I been hacked? When I run install.php, it says:
Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.
What has happened? I have <b>no</b> idea how to fix this. Can anyone offer advice? (as to why it's happened, and/or how to fix it!)
It's at http://www.cricket.mailliw.com
Thanks a lot
Will
it just looks like someone came across your site and installed WP for you ..
try deleting everything and reinstalling ...
That's an odd "advice" DP... written before thinking, I guess. (Note: we are talking about an existing, working blog! - deleting is a nonsense)
The error has been reported several times in the forum and seemingly it can be caused by different things.
Try to see if any thread has a solution.
Thanks for the replies. I'm not having much luck at all. What should I do? I can't re-install WP because it says it's already installed! I can't do anything...
Interesting...I tried deleting the siteurl in wp_options...which seems to be working. Note: I didn't delete the row, I just blanked it and then replaced it.
Worrying though. I wish I knew why it just "happened".
Likely your host was doing something with the mysql. Happened on several blogs I maintain on one server. Been fine since.
Well, despite my fix it's happened again. This is seriously worrying me now. Samboll, what were your hosters doing with MySQL; can you remember?
