it says “Already Installed” but I’m not!

  • Hi, I am trying to install wordpress, but when I go to the /wp-admin/install.php page, I get two different error messages depending on where my browser get the address from.

    When it gets it from my website, (https://www.jonnabjornstjerna.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php) t simply cant find it, and

    when from (file:///Users/jonnbjornstjerna/Desktop/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php), my computer, it says that I am already installed, which I’m not. (See exactly how it looks below).

    I thought that it might be the problem described here:

    Fix WordPress Error: Says Already Installed During Installation

    …but its not, I asked my host and I have already allowed php-access.

    HELP!

    Are you trying to install WordPress on your computer or on a web server? Because unless your computer is your web server, one of those certainly shouldn’t work.
