   I am trying to install wordpress on my main directory of my server. I have cpanel and file manager on my server. Right now I have ftp'd files up for the website because my old design was from iweb. Well now I would like to completely redo the website and make it all wordpress. The problem is that when I try to download wordpress it says I can't install it on the main directory. It wants me to make a folder like /index or /home for it. But if I do this then when people go to my website they won't see the wordpress site unless I redirect it to that folder. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you go about solving the problem? Should I just delete all files in my public_html folder and then wordpress will allow me to install on the main directory? There are some files in the public_html that I'm not sure if they should stay or not: cgi-bin, images, js, media. Do I delete all of my ftp files but those four? I don't want to delete the wrong thing and screw everything up. I am a novice when it comes to all of this and really just need some advice about what to do. Thanks in advance.

   I might be answering my own question, but do you think the instructions here would work? I think this describes how to install it manually. I forgot to mention that my web host has fantastico de luxe to install wp too.

   Should I just install manually and follow this link??

   @snowwalker: what's the point of your irrelevant thread responses? Your own spam link?
