I get an error message when I try to install WordPress on an addon domain. It says I cannot have more than one script installed on a root directory.

Hello SARGENTSTEAM,

That error means there is either another program installed in the same folder you want to place the Wordpress in, or that there are some residual files left over after removing a former program from that area. You will simply want to ensure they are removed before installing the Wordpress and the install will work fine. Sometimes that error will give the filename(s) that are causing the issue, making it easy to remove them. Typical filenames that cause this issue are index.php and robots.txt.
