The website I’m working on has successfully been migrated back to WordPress. I tried Joomla for awhile but somehow their complicated CMS is too much for me. To uninstall it manually was a nightmare. If only I have dug in deeper, I would have found that automatic uninstall script lurking around Fantastico. Well, I’m learning each time I try to mess up with the system. And I thank God for web-savvy friends.

Let me share my latest finds to untechie minions out there. One of them might just stumble upon this and thank me someday for documenting my misery.

When you see this error “You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain” while trying to install WordPress through Fantastico, don’t panic. Here’s the remedy I found:

1. Access your cPanel and open the File Manager;
2. Go to .fantasticodata in your Home Directory;
3. Delete all the files inside this directory.
4. Drink coffee, juice or tea
