 * Below is the error I am getting. How do I fix this?
 * – You chose to install in the main directory of the domain fishin101.com, but
   there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can not proceed. Following filenames
   already exist in the main directory of the domain fishin101.com (path=”/home/
   jo9/public_html/”).You must manually remove these files before proceeding with
   auto-installation:
    index.php

 * Hi,
    Best way could be select all and delete everything inside public_html or
   just delete index.php & Try installing WordPress again.
 * Just like when you login to cpanel
 * yourwebsite.com:2082
    user:.. Password:.. –> File Manager –> public_html –> select
   all –> delete –> yes

 * Is this add on domain name or primary domain name as primary domain root is public_html
   and if is addon domain name then you should have folder in public_html for the
   domain name.
