I am upgrading from Expression Engine 2 to 3. The upgrade was stopped and the following is the message I received:

Error While Installing 3.4.1 Stopped Oops, there was an error

ExpressionEngine appears to already be installed on your database, even though your config file is blank. If you are attempting to update ExpressionEngine from a previous version restore your config file first, then run this installation wizard again.

HOW DO I PROCEED?

Thanks

EE2 and EE3 have their config files in different directories. Did you do these two things?

Copy system/expressionengine/config/config.php to system/user/config/config.php
Copy system/expressionengine/config/database.php to system/user/config/database.php

From https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/installation/upgrade_from_2.x.html
