    is_blog_installed() is a multisite only function. install.php needs to be run as a single site installation first. Only after installation should multisite be enabled.

    Do you have an old MULTISITE definition on wp-config.php? If so, make it into a comment before running install.php

    Currently debugging the same issue.

    is_blog_installed() doesn’t seem to be a multisite only function in the way described, it looks like it gets called in wp-includes/load.php on line 752 if is_multisite() is falsy.

    Will report back here if I figure it out!

    Ok figured it out. So in my case I was using PHP8.1, and it doesn’t look like WordPress (currently 5.8.2) is quite compatible with it yet.

    Specifically the wp install fail is related to this issue:
    https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/changeset/51582

    So the solutions are:
    1. Add the change manually to wp-includes/wp-db.php (I guess there could be other [email protected]/[email protected] incompatibilities though so YMMV) – i.e. mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_OFF); on line 1631.
    2. Go bleeding edge and try the WordPress 5.9 beta
    3. Downgrade to php 8.0
    4. Wait for the next WordPress release.

    Hope that helps!
