Magento – Redirects to Downloader but already installed

By November 5, 2016No Comments

Magento - Essex ecommerce design

After moving a Magento website to a new server, the downloader page reappeared, even though the site was already built. I’d missed something in the migration, but what was wrong?

Redirects to Downloader – Solution

If the downloader page appears, there is an issue with your Mage.php files. Make sure you have an app/Mage.php file.

Redirects to Installation Wizard – Solution

If you are redirected to the installation page, you don’t have an app/etc/local.xml file.
