    hi @donja36100

    If you are getting the prompt to install or a new install, then its not connected to the right database. Look at database credentials in wp-config.php and provide the correct database credentials. Also mind the WordPress db prefix which was in use earlier, it needs to be the same.

    Ideally you copy over your old wp-config.php file and change the db credentials for the new web host in there.
