 * I have done something to my wordpress. I have it installed on my computer and
   somehow messed up my websites. When I run the Word press install again to redo
   my sites the install works but when it finishes it tells me to got [http://www.website.com//wp-admin/install.php](http://www.website.com//wp-admin/install.php).
 * Why is it giving me the // before wp-admin

 * My guess is there’s a trailing slash in the URLs for home and site URL settings.
   While WP likes them in its permalinks, they do not belong in the settings values.
   If you can reach your admin settings screen, verify and correct if necessary.
   If not, you can correct the values directly in the database through the phpMyAdmin
   app. It’s usually accessed through your hosting account. Navigate to the options
   table of your WP database. “siteurl” and “home” values should be one for the 
   first entries. The values should be something like `http://www.example.com` with
   nothing after the final letter.
