I am not sure what happened but I just looked at my wordpress site and it is showing the install page /wp-admin/install.php instead of showing the blog content.
What is going wrong and how can I fix this ?

There are a couple of reasons that could cause your WordPress installation page to show: Incorrect database credentials. Incorrect database prefix. blocked database connection.
WordPress Redirecting to Install Again This type of issue is most frequently caused by the use of an incorrect WordPress database table prefix. What you need to do to correct this is to ensure that the $table_prefix variable within your wp-config. php file matches your actual database table prefix.
In this case, the easiest way to fix this problem is to edit the wp-config. php file and make sure that the prefix matches what you are using in the database. You will now be able to fix the database issues that cause the WordPress installation to continually re-start when you go to your WordPress page.
Typically, this occurs when one or more of the database tables are corrupt — wp_options in particular.
Try issuing check table and repair table statements accordingly.

In my case it was "$table_prefix" in wp-config.php. Once I created the new one:
New DB: $table_prefix = 'wp02_';
Old DB: $table_prefix = 'wp_';
hope this helps.
