reinstall of WordPress

  • After deleting WordPress and the Database and User I was not able to reinstall WordPress:
    The installation cannot be completed… you cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain….click on the ‘Back’ button to fix reported errors.
    My website has a Parent Directory and cgi-bin. Does the Parent Directory hae something to do with this? Every site i’ve started over with went all the way down to just the cgi-bin. Even the .htaccess says it is empty. I’m new to WordPress so not sure where to go from here I know i’m missing something but not sure what … if it was windows explorer it would already be fixed.

  • I too have this exact same problem.
    After deleting an old blog, I tried to set up a new one using the same domain, but even tho’ there is now no sign of the old blog that I can find anywhere on my drive, it still returns the same error.

    Surely I have not got to scrap the domain.

    Using filezilla delete .htaccess file which is a hidden file and then installing
