Wordpress installation error

[Jonzai]

I've just set up a new Silver shared hosting account. I haven't done anything to my account apart from set up one new email. I wanted to install Wordpress onto my root directory with Fantastico, so I clicked the links, filled in the right information etc and got the following message:

Install WordPress (2/3)


The installation can not be completed:

- You chose to install in the main directory of the domain chronicblogger.com, but there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can not proceed. Following filenames already exist in the main directory of the domain chronicblogger.com (path="/home/jonzai/public_html/").You must manually remove these files before proceeding with auto-installation:
index.php

Click on the browser's Back button to fix reported errors.


Does that mean I'm supposed to delete everything in my account and build new directories from scratch?? I'd really appreciate some help. I thought Fantastico was supposed to be easy!

You will need to delete your default index.php before installing wordpress in root of your account. don't delete cgi-bin as cgi-bin is essential for your account.

Okay, mission accomplished. I was having trouble finding the index.php file but I'm up and away now. Thanks for your swift reply!
