Fantastico-Wordpress Issue?

Experiencing a bizarre problem uploading a WP site using Fantastico.

I had a ZenCart install on a specific domain, and have since removed it.

However, when I attempt to upload WP now using Fantastico, it reads:

Install WordPress (2/3)

The installation can not be completed:
- You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.

The domain is an add-on domain, and I have several wp sites up and running. All of which I used the Fantastico feature in Hostgator's cpanel to upload.

I am sure it's something stupid, but none-the-less I even went into file manager and the domain is EMPTY...any idea why it thinks there is already a script on that domain?

Thanks,

Art

    is there maybe a htaccess file pointing to that domain in the root directory, taht can sometimes cause problems, or if all else fails install into a different directory then adjust the domain to point to the new one

    Hi,
    It's a kind of worried thing.

    To fix this, please follow these instructions:
    1. Log into your control panel (yourdomain.com/cpanel)
    2. Click on the "File Manager" icon
    3. Browse into .fantasticodata
    4. You should now see the following file there: installed_in_root.php. Click on its name and then select "EDIT FILE" from the menu that will appear on the right side of the screen.
    5. You should now see a small piece of code, usually the following: <? $installed_in_root["yourdomain.com"] = 1; ?>.
      The "1" means that something WAS or IS installed. To remove the protection and be able to install a new script in your public_html directory you should set this value to "0".
    6. Click "Save" and exit the file manager.
    You should now be able to install your new script.

    Cheers
