 I was trying to install another instance of wp in a shared env (apache
 virtual hosts) but it did say that wp was installed already, and proposed
 me to log in another installation.

 installation was in /home/www/site3/(wp files)

 After debug, i found that wp install was looking for a wp-config.php in
 "/home/www/" (outside of it's installation directory). And of course,
 there i had a wp-config.php, copy of an existing site's wp-config.php.

 I had to remove it to be able to install.
