Hi this is probably a noob questions but i can not install wordpress to my root directory because i get the following error:
The installation can not be completed:
- You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.
...and i can not find anywhere in the cPanel any scripts to remove. Has anyone come across this before?
there must be an index.php that is not from wordpress in the root

I've looked in my file manager and all i have is something that says 'www' i deleted everthing else. Is there someelse i would look to find that?

...and i can seem to delete the 'www' that is in there either.
the www is your root folder - good thing you can't delete it
look inside the www - what is in there?
did you have a public_html folder? if so, recreate it and use it for your root

ok so i replaced public_html and used that as my root and wordpress installed but it installed into mydomain.com.au/public_html/public_html so it wouldn't come up when i put in mydomain.com.au unless i clicked on the folder from there that said public_html do you now if there is a way to fix that at all?
thanks sam
with ftp just drag all files into main public_html folder and then delete copy folder
either drop all tables in database and re-install or change the table_prefix in wp-config.php from wp_ to wp1_ or similar

im getting close i think!! :) ok so i have moved all contents from /public_html/tempinstalllocation/ to /public_html/ and now it gets a login page but the graphics are not right then when i try and login it tries to open the old install location. i ran install.php to try and re-install but it says please clear your old database tables first but i cant seem to find that anywhere do you know where it is suppose to be?

oh no now there looks like there is a 2.8.1 should i delete everything and start again with the 2.8.1 or should i try to fully resolve this issue first then upgrade?

ITS OK I GOT IT!!!!!! I manged to setup a FTP connection successfully and uploaded the new 2.8.1 instead of trying to install using the auto configuration through my host. Now i have to just design it! Thanks for your help!!! :)
