The subject says it all really. I've moved a site and changed the connection string as appropriate. Trying to browse the site results in a redirect to the installer as if it can't find the database. However the admin system is fine and I've tried to republish the site but this hasn't helped.
It's probably because the umbracoConfigurationStatus is probably empty. If it looks like this <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" /> then change it to look like this <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="4.7.1" /> (Or perhaps 4.7.1.1 if you have just upgraded or downloaded the latest stable version).
Thanks for the reply. You were right about the missing config setting, but you gave me an idea anyway - I just upgraded to 4.7.1.1 instead of fiddling. Worked a treat!!
I'm happy you we're able to move forward, accidental or not ;-) - However I'm sure that if you did not upgrade it would also have worked. But good idea to run on latest stable version and then why not just upgrade while you're at it.
Moved site runs installer on the front end, but admin OK

Stumped so any suggestions gratefully received.

Hi Jan,

I'll credit you with an accidental fix ;)
Cheers.
