    This is what I am seeing when i try to go to the install screen:

    >

    ‘.__(‘Already Installed’).’
    ‘.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).’

    ‘);} switch($step) { case 0: case 1: // in case people are directly linking to this display_header(); ?>
    ReadMe documentation at your leisure. Otherwise, just fill in the information below and you\’ll be on your way to using the most extendable and powerful personal publishing platform in the world.’), ‘../readme.html’); ?>

    (https://domainname/wp-admin/install.php)

    I know PHP is enabled, because I am replacing a site that was built in PHP, any ideas?

    Hi

    Most likely this is telling you that it already found the WordPress database tables created in your database. Do you have any idea why they would already exist? Did you run the install more than once? Was there already a WP site on the domain?

    If you know how to use PHPmyAdmin you can go into the database and see if the WP tables are already created. If they are and you are positive they are not needed, that you are looking at the right WP install, etc etc then you can go ahead and delete the tables in the database (although I’d recommend doing a full export first “just in case”.

    If you don’t know how to use PHPmyAdmin, here is an article about changing your password using PHPmyAdmin. You don’t want to change your password but it will show you how to log into PHPmyAdmin, and how to find your way around it.

    My web host has me locked out of PHPmyAdmin, but it turns out it was a PHP issue (he had restricted it on this domain), and all he had to do was put up a new .htaccess file.

    Thanks though!
