 * Hi this is probably a noob questions but i can not install wordpress to my root
   directory because i get the following error:
 * The installation can not be completed:
 * – You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.
 * …and i can not find anywhere in the cPanel any scripts to remove. Has anyone 
   come across this before?

 * the www is your root folder – good thing you can’t delete it
    look inside the
   www – what is in there?
 * did you have a `public_html` folder? if so, recreate it and use it for your root

 * ok so i replaced public_html and used that as my root and wordpress installed
   but it installed into mydomain.com.au/public_html/public_html so it wouldn’t 
   come up when i put in mydomain.com.au unless i clicked on the folder from there
   that said public_html do you now if there is a way to fix that at all?
 * thanks sam

 * with ftp just drag all files into main `public_html` folder and then delete copy
   folder
 * either drop all tables in database and re-install or change the `table_prefix`
   in wp-config.php from `wp_` to `wp1_` or similar

 * oh no now there looks like there is a 2.8.1 should i delete everything and start
   again with the 2.8.1 or should i try to fully resolve this issue first then upgrade?
