One day, I was installing my WordPress blog using Fantastico De Luxe. I made some mistakes when setting it up, so I removed the whole blog manually, without using Fantastico De Luxe to remove it. After that, I reinstalled my WordPress blog again in the same directory. This time, my WordPress installation cannot be completed, failed!
The following errors message appeared on my WordPress installtion screen.
The installation can not be completed:
You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain. Click on the browser’s Back button to fix reported errors.
How to solve the problems?
I found a way that you can fix the problems by going to your “CPanel”, clicking on “File Manager” (or use FTP). Go to your /.fantasticodata directory and find for a file called installed_in_root.php. Download that file to edit it using NotePad by changing the value of 1 back to 0.
<?
$installed_in_root[“domain.com”] = 1;
?>
After that, it should look like this:
<?
$installed_in_root[“domain.com”] = 0;
?>
Save the file and re-upload it to the directory where your downloaded from just now (Replace the old file).
Now, go back to your Cpanel’s Fantastico De Luxe for WordPress installation, you should be able to install your WordPress blog again.

Alex,
Go to CPanel, then Click File Manager, then Select ‘show hidden files’. This should allow you to see the file.
