[wp-hackers] WordPress install homepage redirecting to /wp-admin/install.php

[Kapil Chugh]

Daniel,  make sure you don't have wp-config.php file exist above your installation folder.

I had faced a similar kind of issue. In my case, I was installing WordPress on my local server(/var/www/wp) and one wp-config.php file existed  at /var/www/

And also check for any Symlink.
