ok so I finally finished coding the first page of my layout (minus the text positioning, still have to do that). I clicked back to try to finish it and it keeps coming up with

"It doesn't look like you've installed WP yet. Try running install.php."

when I click on the link (install.php) it comes up with

"Already Installed
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first."

I've spent the past 40 minutes trying to fix it, and so far nothing has happened. Does anyone know what this could be?

I can reinstall it for you? Like delete it now and reinstall it? (It will take a few minutes. Like 5)

When did it start doing it? Did you add anything to it before it happened or by itself?

sure if that will work^

Maybe 45/50 minutes ago? It started doing by itself or it could be my computer. It tends to do funky things when it's been on too long

Its done. So you can log in now and do what you like. (If your making your layout in wordpress I suggest editing the classic template). I looked around and other wordpress users had this problem but weirdly no cure? Oh well its back up now

edit:\\ toya you are seriously my hero. thank you so much.

this can be closed now
