Transferring Hosts - WP asking to install new (3 posts)

    I'm changing from Lunarpages to Dreamhost.
    The domain switched over already.

    According to this link [ http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress ] all I really need to do is copy all the files in my WordPress folder over to Dreamhost and updated the wp-config.php file.
    Did all that but now when go to my site, I get the Welcom/installation page that asks for a username, password, etc.

    Any tips on how to just get it back to normal?

    Thanks.

    By the way...

    when I visit my site, it redirects to this
    http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/install.php

    Nevermind... figured it out.
    I had to migrate the .sql database.
    Did it and now it works.
