Fantastico WP instal problem

Try a manual install…see the following for step-by-step directions using Cpanel.

That’s great! However I already have WP installed on the public_html folder but that’s used for the main domains’ Dashboard. I want to access the dashboard for a different domain which Fantastico says is installed for but WP wont acknowledge the username that Fantastico tells me to use (the one that I set up during the install). Maybe following the video might help, but I’d be confused because WP is already installed in the folder the video tells me to install…….

The video shows you how to upload the wordpress zip file to public_html and extract it. It will extract into a directory called wordpress.

If you already have a wordpress install in public_html called wordpress, then simply use the Cpanel file manager to create a new directory in public_html and name it anything–let’s say WP-TEMP for example. Then upload the wordpress zip file into WP-TEMP and extract it there. Once it’s extracted into the directory, you will have public_html/WP-TEMP/wordpress — now, just rename that wordpress directory to something else — blog, for example — and then, move it out to public_html. Then you will have your new source code in public_html/blog and your other install will be in public_html/wordpress.

Just follow the rest of the video from there.

Note: If you want to use the same database your other blog is using, then see the following video for installing multiple blogs using a single database.
