quesneldave Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 First....forgive my ignorance. I am not even sure I am in the right place to get help with this issue. All this is very new to me. I just installed PrestaShop directly after registering a new domain through Siteground Web Hosting Services. I have decided after looking PrestaShop over it is far too advanced for my needs and I am going to use WordPress to build my website with the new domain. However, when I try to install WordPress within my Siteground account, I am getting an error telling me that an installation already exists with that name. I am assuming PrestaShop was installed into my web director and when trying to install WordPress it is detecting that a domain extension already exists with that name. I hope I am making sense.....bare with me, all this is very new to me and I am far from an expert, more of a very uneducated new user in the matter.When I am in Siteground's Cpanel relating to the new domain, and choose to install WordPress I am taken to the proper installation page.....but, there is no mention of any other WordPress installations. I am assuming I need to uninstall the current PrestaShop installation before I can install WordPress, but am unsure where to go to do this.Is this something that needs to be done within PrestaShop or in my Siteground account? I have found no option in either.Please feel free to ask me questions as I imagine I have not explained myself very well.Thank you in advance.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quesneldave Posted September 19, 2016 Author Share Posted September 19, 2016 I am at a total loss!I have no business being a PrestaShop user, it was just a offer that directly followed my registration of new domain from Siteground.Please if anyone has anything I would appreciate your expertise.Thank you.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellini13 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It sounds to me like you have used some service of SiteGround to create the Prestashop installation, perhaps you should contact their support for additional assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quesneldave Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Ok thank you Bellini13,Yes since I sent the question Siteground did take care of it for me.It was a left over .htaccess file that was causing the problem. Now that I think about it, of course it would be Siteground's problem, lol. I sure wish I had more know-how in all this, PrestaShop looks to be a fantastic tool with so many features. Maybe at a later date when I am more experienced.Thanks again.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
