 * Hi Francesco,
 * You are correct, after the installer is ran the wp-config.php should be updated
   to match the new site. The installer-log.txt should show if there may have been
   a permissions errors on the server where PHP was unable to make a change to that
   file. You may check the file to see if there are any permissions issues..
 * Thanks

 * Hey [@jonomk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonomk/),
 * The date in the URL is normal, the URL appends a date to flush out any cache 
   issues. If the screen is blank and you are unable to see anything then you may
   checkout this FAQ:

 * Hope that helps~
