# redirecting to /wp-admin/install.php

 * Hi,
 * I have this site which I have just moved over to a vps on 123 reg.
 * It was running fine for a week, the only thing I amended in this week was uploading
   and deleting images.
 * The site is now automatically redirecting to **wp-admin/install.php**
 * I’ve read that this is to do with the MYSQL databases?
 * Can anyone suggest what I should do to fix this? or has anyone seen this problem
   before and know the cause?
 * Many thanks for your help in advance
 * David

 * You should contact your host, they would be able to track down and figure out
   what an issue like this may be.

 * Hi,
 * I know, That was exactly my response to it. but low and behold 123 reg couldn’t
   find anything wrong with it, which personally I’m guessing they didn’t even look
   properly.
 * Has anyone had any similar issues?

 * I can’t really guess. too many things to look at from your wordpress install 
   to your dns and htaccess rules.
 * I also don’t know of anyone who has had this issue but someone may post.

 * Thank you for your reply, I finally figured out that somehow the database had
   corrupted, safe to say site is back up now 🙂
