After upgrade 8.3.7 => 8.4.4 I noticed the following:

If I go Structure|Content Types and choose whatever content type to be edited, i.e. I put mouse on the Edit option of the drop down menu, I can see that it points to:

http://mywebsite.com/admin/structure/types/manage/article

When I click on it, the browser is redirected to:

http://mywebsite.com/core/install.php

and I am getting a message:

Drupal 8.4.4

Drupal already installed

  • To start over, you must empty your existing database and copy default.settings.php over settings.php.
  • To upgrade an existing installation, proceed to the update script.
  • View your existing site.

When I click "back" (browser) everything looks ok.

Any idea, what is going on and why?

To be precise, I am not sure if this behavior is a consequence of the upgrade, or if it was there even before 8.3.7, because I have not change content types for a long time.

Oooups,

I tried to add a new content type and after clicking "Add content type" that points to http://mywebsite.com/admin/structure/types/add the browser was redirected again to:

http://mywebsite.com/core/install.php

and I am getting a message:

Drupal 8.4.5

Drupal already installed

  • To start over, you must empty your existing database and copy default.settings.php over settings.php.
  • To upgrade an existing installation, proceed to the update script.
  • View your existing site.

(in meantime I upgraded from 8.4.4 to 8.4.5)

Please, if you have, give me a suggestion what could be wrong with my installation and if I can fix it ...

Thank you

Is there any tool that can check if the D8 DB is not corrupted?

I have feeling that something happened with content of my DB back in  July 2017 as I described my problem in https://www.drupal.org/forum/support/post-installation/2017-07-08/disast...

It looks for me that at that time content of some records in some DB table(s) was corrupted and that it is transferred from version to version (from backup to backup).

Do you think that might be my problem? 

To repeat, the problem symptoms (clues) are:

  • Edit of existing content type does not work
  • Add new content type does not work

If some DB content would be corrupted, what table should I look at?

Thank you.

You failed to disclose which update process was utilized. Did you utilize the core migrate module? Are you sure you didn't remove your original settings.php file?
