Fantastico, an auto-installer mentioned in older guides, has been discontinued. Our cPanel hosting uses Softaculous instead.
"Folder is not empty" when installing
Softaculous (like Fantastico before it) warns when you install into a folder that already has files, such as the default index.html in public_html. Installing over them could overwrite another application.
- Open Files › File Manager and check the folder.
- Move or delete files you do not need (for example the default placeholder page), or choose another folder in Softaculous.
- Start the installation again.
