Install WordPress (2/3)

The installation can not be completed:

- You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.

I keep getting this error when attempting to install Wordpress using Fantastico.


Previously had WP on this domain in the past, but it has been a re-direct for some time.



Far as I can tell there is nothing on the domain (at least the file manager is empty).



Anybody know what I have done wrong.


thanks

    I had this problem the other day actually... To fix the problem I had to install in a new directory so I just made something up like directory named "WP" and then installed in there. Once I had the install I just went into FTP and transferred all the files within "WP" to main directory and it worked just fine. I could do this for cheap if your interested...

    Hi Daren,

    If you're comfortable enough with uploading Wordpress to your web site via FTP yourself, it might be worth downloading the latest version of Wordpress and doing this. It means you'll have the latest version, as some hosts don't always update Wordpress in their package installations.

    If, however, that meant nothing to you (don't worry!), then I'd suggest raising a support ticket with your host.

    Did you previously install wordpress on the same web site at all?

      Yes I had wordpress on here before. And no, my technical expertise stops with Fantastico. lol

      I guess I will send in a support ticket and see if they can help.

      thanks for the help,

      Daren
