# /wp-admin redirecting to /wp-admin/install.php

 * I originally installed WordPress using Simple Scripts and think I messed up my
   installation this morning in the Simple Scripts control panel, although I’m not
   sure how… If I look at my server via FTP I can see all the WP files, databases,
   and blogs still on the server so I know that all the information is still in 
   existence. Probal is that when I go to my web site (www.valtenbergs.com) or try
   to login to WP (www.valtenbergs.com/wp-admin) I automatically get redirected 
   to [http://www.valtenbergs.com/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.valtenbergs.com/wp-admin/install.php)!
   Help!

 * I had accidentally deleted the WP SQL database associated with my blog. Luckily
   my hosting provider kept a copy from last night!
