Help Migrating Drupal 7 from Local to Production

http://drupal.org

I have created a site in Drupal 7 on my local machine. This is my first time working with Drupal and am using the Aquia Drupal stack to run my local site.

My goal: Migrate site to my new production url
Steps taken so far:
1. Exported local DB
2. Uploaded site files to new host domain
3. Created DB on new host and imported DB exported from local
4. Changed settings.php file to point to new DB and uploaded file (overwriting the existing one)

These are the normal steps to migrating a site, however when I go to my url I get a drupal install.php page as if I don't have drupal installed at all! I think the error may lie in the settings.php file but am not sure. Also I noticed that in my "sites" folder there is a default folder and folder with my site files (this is where I changed the settings file). Do I need to move my site files to the default folder? Change the settings file in the default folder?

Any help would be much appreciated,
Jeremy
