# Changes calls sencond install.php

 * I made a table prefix change in the database and the config file. Now it is going
   through a second install process. WordPress has added more tables in the database
   after this second install. I am now getting a third install screen. What have
   I done wrong to prompt the install again and is there anyway to bypass this. 
   I tried removing the install.php file but I got errors from WP trying to find
   it. Should I go through with the third install with the same information and 
   switch back to the child theme because it comes up as the default theme.
    Any
   help would be greatly appreciated. New to wordpress – obviously….

 * Thanks for the heads up on stating the obvious however it would be helpful if
   there was a remedy to fix the situation. Got one?

 * Start by changing the table prefixes back to their originals.
