 On line 31 of my '''wp-load.php''' file, I have the following:

 {{{
 } elseif ( file_exists( dirname(ABSPATH) . '/wp-config.php' ) && !
 file_exists( dirname(ABSPATH) . '/wp-settings.php' ) ) {
 }}}
 The problem is with the '''dirname(ABSPATH)''' part since I was installing
 it into a sub-directory and this causes it to convert ABSPATH to the
 parent directory instead.  I caught this when I had a temporary wp-
 config.php file in my parent directory and the install screen would never
 load.

 The fix should be changing '''dirname(ABSPATH)''' to
 '''realpath(ABSPATH)''' or to just use the ABSPATH constant and remove the
 forward slash from line 31.
