public_html

[cjsenai]

Hi to the community,

I am about to install wordpress into my domain, and I have a question to ask.

 

I am using FTP to upload the latest wordpress engine, and when I am in FTP, I see a lot of folders at the root,

 

public_ftp

public_html

www

.cpanel

.htpasswds

.trash

etc

mail

tmp

 

I choose public_html folder, but inside, I see a lot of files and folders too... before I proceed, i just want to confirm whether I can remove those folders and files inside public_html

 

anyone can help me, thanks

Yeah - you can install WordPress in public_html folder or in another folder inside public_html. The only folder you really need to keep in public_html is 'cgi-bin'.

 

See the WordPress 5-Minute-Install Guide for more info on installing WordPress. Or, you could install it via Sodtaculous in cPanel.

 

In Softaculous, when it asks for a directory:

/ = /home/jje/public_html

/directory = /home/jje/public_html/directory

I am absolutely amazed by softaculous as it installed my wordpress blog faster than I can ever imagined. Thank you so much for the wonderful product.
