 * I have a couple of wordpress installations running on my host, all with different
   databases and without any problems whatsoever. However, I tried to set up another
   one and suddenly got the error
 * “You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your
   old database tables first.”
 * When trying to run the install.php. When I click on the ‘log in’ button that 
   is also shown on the page, I go to another one of my wordpress homepages.
 * This would imply wordpress is trying to use the same database twice. However,
   I set up a new database for this blog (and double checked the wp-config to see
   I had it refer to the correct database). Does anyone know what’s wrong here?

 * Double check the wp-config.php file as that is where the database info resides.
