 * I tried to login into my site this morning and was redirected to wp-admin/install.
   php.
 * I’ve repaired the database via mysql, but that hasn’t helped.

 * See if wp-config.php exists and your database config is already there in it.

 * > I’ve repaired the database via mysql, but that hasn’t helped.
 * Have you tried:
 * 1. Login to phpMyAdmin.
    2. Select the database and click on ‘Structure’ tab.
   3. Right under the list of table there is a “Check All” link. Click on it to 
   select all tables. 4. From a “With selected:” drop-down menu right next to it,
   choose “Check table”.
 * **To Repair:**
 * 1. Login to phpMyAdmin
    2. Choose the affected database. If you only have one
   database, it should choose it by default so you don’t need to do anything. 3.
   In the main panel, you should see a list of your database tables. Check the boxes
   by the tables that need repair. 4. At the bottom of the window just below the
   list of tables, there is a drop down menu. Choose “Repair Table”
 * **Make sure you backup your database before doing any actions, just in case. **

 * Did you checked wp-config.php in the site’s root?

 * Also check if table prefix in wp-config.php matches with what you have in database(
   case-sensitive).

   to install page. i have tried every thing you guys mention here.

   config.php repaired database increased php memory limit increased maximum execution
   time for phpmyadmin but still problem is there. [http://www.enstructive.com](http://www.enstructive.com)

   then usua, the page redirects to install page. i have deleted the install.php.
   I think this is a server loading time type issue. I am worried about this. need
