Hi,

It looks like the index.php already exists on your domain path. If you do not need this file you can delete it or rename it to index.php.bak and then proceed with the installation.

Hello, I am getting this error when trying to install infinitewp, I am worried that overwriting my index file will corrupt my site. Is there anything to worry about when selecting the "Select the checkbox to overwrite all files and continue" button? Thank you.

Hi,

If you have an existing site on your domain, you should not overwrite the files.

You can choose to install the new script in a sub directory. You can choose the directory to install in the "In Directory" text box on the install form.
