Hi, I need some guidance for the installation of another Wordpress site. I currently have a Wordpress site which is up and running and, on the Web. I now have another domain (parked) so I need to install Wordpress again (or do I need to do something else?) for this new domain. What do I need to do?

I tried installing via Softaculous but I get the following message:

Installation cannot proceed because the following files already exist in the target folder :
index.php
license.txt
readme.html
wp-activate.php
wp-admin
wp-app.php
etc...

I'm not quite sure what to do here. There is an option to overwrite files but I don't think I want to do this.

Im not the most technical when it comes to cpanel and Wordpress so please be specific if you can help.

Thanks :-)

Hi,

Sir do not overwrite the files.
If you want to install WordPress on another domain then go to your cPanel and add a domain to your account then the domain will be available when you install WordPress you can select your domain and then it will be installed there.

Hi Brijesh and thanks for the reply.

I have a parked domain so I want to set up an install for this so I can work on this new site before it goes live. Therefore, I have this option for the new domain and I chose it but that is when I got the above message for overwriting the files. My question here is what do I need to do in order to add this additional wordpress website? There is probably another setting I need to add/change.

Hi,

What directory name are you using while installing WordPress ?
Please use a different directory name than the one you used during the previous installation.
If you have installed WordPress on the root previously then try installing in a sub-directory.
