    It looks like Umbraco isn't installed yet

    I have just installed Umbraco 5 via Webmatrix and I chose SQL CE 4 as database - all is fine.

    Now I set up a domain in IIS and when I look at the site from another machine I get the message "It looks like Umbraco isn't installed yet"

    If I try to install again it only reaches stage two where I ghose SQL CE 4 as database and it returns to step 1 again.

    This is wery frustrating... what is wrong ?

    Please help!!!

    I am getting a similar issue, I installed Umbraco 5 locally, published it to the live server. After the republish, I am getting It looks like Umbraco isn't installed yet. 

    The only way I have got around the issue is by running the install again, but this is not ideal and I have to add a new admin user each time. Also I want to delete the Install folder, so this is not a permanent work-around.

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    My issue was that I changed the SQL Database user since the install. Updating the \App_Data\Umbraco\HiveConfig\web.config didn't work as I thought because the site was still attempting to log in using my old user. It then went to the install folder by default, presumably because it coludn't find the database? 

    A full rebuild and deploy has fixed this for me.

    I have tried everything I can think of...

    I even installed directly on production server. Tried installation with web api and webmatrix. Tried SQL CE 4 and SQL Server 2008. Upgraded to 5.1.

    Nothing works besides on localhost...

    What does the error log in AppData/Logs/UmbracoTraceLog.txt say? This was where I found out the SQL exception which was leading it to think it needed to reinstall each time.

    Nothing i written to the log from another machine. Only when using localhost on the server. Very strange because it gets an Umbraco site, so the IIS part is working...

    I did a complete reinstall on my dev computer and deleted everything on prod. Installed DB from dev and then moved all files to prod.

    Thanks for your time Emma :)

    Still have that other problem with backoffice on prod as described here: http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/umbraco-5-general-discussion/30184-UmbracoSystem-is-undefined
