404 error when creating a new site when WP is in a subfolder

Description

With WP placed in a subfolder, i.e.:

/index.php
/wp-config.php
/wp <-- WP in here

You get a 404 error when creating a site. It redirects you to /wp-admin/install.php instead of /wp/wp-admin/install.php

  • Component General → Upgrade/Install

Confirmed. When trying to install from the root URL, wp_guess_url() does not detect that WP is in the subdirectory. Installing from /wp/ works correctly though.

When the WordPress files are in a subdirectory, correctly redirect the user to the setup-config.php page from the parent directories index.php. Fixes #24480

still need to cover the wp-admin/install.php redirect for when a wp-config.php file already exists.

Fix wp_guess_url() to work in every scenario I could find, allows us to use it to determine the correct path to the WordPress Site URL before installation for install.php and setup-config.php redirects. Fixes #24480 Fixes #16884
