can't fix 302 redirect

  • Hey all,

    I just tried to uninstall WordPress (yes, I did delete everything thru FTP, yes I did empty my database) in order to launch a new version of the site, but the index page always redirects to wp-admin/install.php

    I plugged it into a header check and figured out that there’s a 302 redirect that insists on redirecting me to a WP install, even though 1) according to FileZilla, neither the wp-admin folder nor the install.php pages exist on the server anymore and 2) I don’t see the 302 redirect in any .htaccess files. I had to put the old WP-based site back up, but obviously I can’t just leave it there.

    I’m super stumped, and I don’t know how to fix it. Anyone else have this problem with uninstalling?

  • Is the site directory completely empty? Can you give us a link to this site? I would clean the httpdocs (or whatever your site root is) directory out completely, and delete or temporarily rename your .htaccess file. My suspicion is that the redirect is caused by a PHP file that remains on the server somewhere. You aren’t using a CDN or some other mechanism that has cached something possibly?
