Why? If you can’t do it in one, you can’t do it in two or a dozen. If you want your blog to be here, thecomingdays.com, then install in the root directory. If you want your blog to be here, thecomingdays/wordpress then install in a directory called wordpress. * I belive you are hosted at GoDaddy? Read this . . .

That seems to be the problem. The tar file was untarred to /var/www/wordpress. That is the only place I find it. I don’t understand why you say it is installed twice?? I seems that my system will not launch the .php. Am I not seeing what you are? * [kmessinger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kmessinger/) * (@kmessinger) * [17 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installation-issues-7/#post-949148) * I said it was installed twice as you were looking in two different places (the 2 URLs in your message) so I thought you installed it in two different places. * The way I do it and it has worked many times. I unzip the current version on my computer. I ftp the WordPress files to my host using Fire FTP for FireFox. That way I can make sure the files are going where they should as I can see the files at my host (server) and on my computer. See [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress) again. * If you are moving WP to the server and then unziping or untaring don’t. Just follow the directions. If you have problems or don’t understand something stop– and come back to support with your question.
