Hi, I'm new to cPanel. There's a question may sounds stupid - Is it possible to install a second magento website on cPanel via Softaculous? I already have a magento website on cPanel ( example1.com ). And now I would like to install another magento via Softaculous (example2.com). In my first installation set-up, I leave empty on In Directory and it created a directory named magento under /public_html . Will it create another magento directory (maybe named magento2?) if I leave empty on In Directory this time? Or the original will be rewritten? Or should I install second one manually?

  You'd need to create and specify the directory to install to.

  Hi, so what should I do is: 1. Create a directory under /public_html. (ex. second_site) 2. Specify the domain to the directory. (ex. example2.com -> /public_html/second_site) 3. In magento set-up via Softaculous, I could leave empty on "In Directory" when selecting the second domain. (ex. example2.com) This is what I figure out. Is it correct???

  Assuming example2.com is an addon domain already configured for the cPanel account, you would select the addon domain when installing the script, that's correct. When in doubt, create a full account backup first before making any changes that could make a mess of things.

  In other words, I could directly install magento if I don't need to leave empty on "In Directory", right? For example, I choose example2.com on Domain, and enter "second-site" on In Directory. And the website url would be example2.com/second-site. Is this correct?

  Before you do anything, use the Softaculous interface to take a full backup of the currently installed magento . It will only take a couple of minutes to do, and it will enable you to restore everything back to the way it was should you make any mistakes during the second or subsequent install.

  From that section of the installer: In Directory The directory is relative to your domain and should not exist. e.g. To install at http://mydomain/dir/ just type dir. To install only in http://mydomain/ leave this empty.
