I ran out of space on my MySQL server so I got a bigger disk and moved the files to the new disk, restarted MySQL and things were fine. But I went to my sites and now wordpress is acting like its never been installed before, its taking me through the install and setup like it was a brand new site. It was working fine yesterday. I dont get it.

  • Check database server details in wp-config.php and confirm these are ok. Also did you moved database too on new disk.

This may happen if you didn't remove the option to install after installation, and WordPress finds an empty database. It will then offer the installation page.
