Hi guys,
It looks like you have coded the Wordpress toolkit to look for files in the installation directory and fail if any files are found - from an Admin level this is simply not good practice. We have several files in our skeleton directory that need to be present when a domain is created which are copied into the root folder. Then if we try to install Wordpress with the toolkit it fails because those files are present - but they have nothing to do with Wordpress.
I understand you are trying to help the user by making sure that they cannot install Wordpress overtop of an already existing installation - so why not search for the wp-content folder? Or some file that you know belongs to wordpress - and not just IF any file exists in this folder /fail ...
I hope this will be remedied in the future so we can use our skeleton directories properly
Cheers,
C.
