 - Upload the Wordpress files and fill in the wp-config.php information
 - Visit the Wordpress URL in your browser; you are redirected to /wp-
 admin/install.php
 - Proceed with the installation
 - Visit the Wordpress URL in your browser.

 Firefox, at least, caches the 302 redirect and keeps sending you to /wp-
 admin/install.php, acting as if you haven't installed Wordpress at all.
 Restarting Firefox clears the 302 cache, after which it works perfectly.

 I'm not sure what the best solution is - ideally it should be redirected
 in a way that doesn't cache the result, if possible - but at the very
 least, the installation page shouldn't be acting as if Wordpress isn't
 installed and asking you for installation details.
