Install Problems =/

Calliope · November 3rd, 2005, 1:31 AM

I've been trying to install WordPress for a good couple of hours now and I keep getting this error:

The installation can not be completed:

- You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.

Which would be fair enough if there was anything in there. I used to have pMachine installed, but all files have been removed (including databases &c.) so I really can't understand what's causing this.

Help?

Are you using Fantastico to install WP? If so, make sure you've removed all the files associated with it out of the root and home directories, otherwise it will continue to think you've got a script installed there and it won't let you put a new install in the root.

Yep, that was the problem (stupid fantasticodata folder *kicks*) but it's all fixed now.

Thanks for the help

See, ceo, I told you that you were the resident WordPress expert.

Oh, wait, you're pretty good at Fantastico too...
