I had parked http: //example.com/ domain to a sub folder in my server lets say it "/magentofolder"
I want to install magento inside /magentofolder. so far I did,
1)Unzipped magento installation file.
2)Moved all magento files to the root directory, in this case the root directory for the domain
http: //example.com is /magentofolder
when I open http: //example.com it enters into a redirect loop(302) between
http: //example.com/index.php/install and http: //example.com/magentofolder/index.php/install
unable to continue the installation, any help regarding this issue will be appreciated.

Before copying any files into your folder, you can make sure the files on that folder can be accessed.
This can be done by having an index.php file on the specified folder, let's say you have
/root_folder/your_magento_subfolder
that is served forhttp://example.com/subfolder
URL . Add/Overwrite the /root_folder/your_magento_subfolder/index.php file with just this content:And try to access:
http://example.com/subfolder
. You should see a white page withfoo
;By having this set you can move forward to replace your modified index.php with the one from the magento install folder and start your install.
