   Hola,

   I've moved all my WordPress files from one server and URL to another server and URL using FTP and now when I go onto the new site it is asks me to install WordPress from the /install.php. Looking through the help files it appears as though everything should go voila! How do I get it so my WordPress shows up on the new site once everything has moved?

   Does anybody have any idea as to why WordPress is asking me to install it when I've only moved it?

   Allow me a guess.

   Because you haven't updated the database connexion data,

   Longer reply : because you haven't even exported the previous database, and imported it again into a new database at your new host, and then updated wp-config with the connexion information that database.

   Am I guessing right ?

   This is easy, don't worry, once you've made it once you could make it with your eyes closed :)
