   It's very strange, I'm building a website in a fresh wordpress 3.0.1 install and suddenly when i refresh the page it redirects to http://www.mysite.nl/wp-admin/install.php and I'm forced to re-install wordpress. Then I get a message that wordpress already got installed but when I log in everthing is back to when you just install wordpress so I lost my posts and all of my settings....

   Can somebody help me?

   The URL is:
   http://www.goede-zaak.nl

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

   Whatever you do, don't keep re-installing. Something, somewhere, is triggering the install script and you need to find out what it is.

   Esmi,

   Thanks for the quick response!

   It's very strange. I only run the contact form 7 plugin but I'm gonna switch it off, maybe that's the reason. Besides the re-installing I found another strange thing. The theme doesn't display my custom field thumbs. It hasn't anything to do with the code because I copy/paste it from an old site of mine.

   If the re-install script starts it re-directs me from the normal url to the install folder so when I type http://www.goede-zaak.nl I get the install options (goede-zaak.nl/wp-admin/install.php). Something to worry about because when this happens when someone visits the site, he gets full control about the installation...

   Thijs

   Hmm... I'd definitely try switching the TwentyTen theme in case you've inadvertently introduced a problem with this older code.

   Also, do you have an .htaccess file in the root folder?

   Strange, the code didn.t work with the default theme but I found out that I works without the timthumb script... Also on my own theme.

   Yes I have a .htaccess file for the new permalink structure. This morning it didn't crash and I got rid of the timthumb script.

   Now I looking for another resizing PHP script.
