Addon install in the home directory

[mattevers]

Is it possible to install an addon (such as Wordpress) in the home directory? I try leaving the directory option blank when installing, but it gives me an error.

Please copy the error message and paste it here.

For some insane reason, cpanel will not install wordpress in the home directory, only in a subdirectory.

You can move the files afterwards, but that doesn't explain anything.

For the directory did you try

/

well, I have no problems with installing phpBB or any other addons on my home directory. I just leave the input box to blank. Can you provide us the error you are getting...we can have it diagnosed (& fixed if possible).... ?

Install in a directory and copy the contents to the www directory

I'm attempting to install phpBB into the root and keep getting " You must specify an installation directory! "

I have tried ./, /, ../ nothing. Is there a way to install into the root without manually moving the installation from /forum (rearrange from cpanel didnt work either) ?

Thanks,
