Problem seeing new Wordpress installation

Hi.

I'm completely new to all this behind-the-scenes stuff. A friend has been sorting all this out to date.

I have two domains linked through my cpanel account. I've had one domain on a placeholder page for the past couple of years (!!). I just installed Wordpress to this domain and have been able to log into the application fine through the login link provided by cpanel at the end of the installation. While everything on Wordpress seems to be working fine, I can only see the placeholder stuff at the address I've allocated everything to. Should this stuff have been deleted first? Is that the problem? Or do I still need to do something else?

Hoping someone can help!

 

Thanks for replying.

OK, this stuff is kind of like trying to understand German for me, but I think I might know what I've done wrong now. When cpanel asked me for a path, I left it blank because it said that it was going to create a web location from that. To me, this meant that if I left it with the default path (wordpress) that visitors would only see my page if they went to www.domain.com/wordpress and not www.domain.com. So, if I understand you correctly, I should have specified a path? Can I change this now, even though the application's been installed to this location?

And, to rename the placeholder page, where do I find this in cpanel?

 

All working now. Thanks!

I didn't need to do the uninstall/reinstall after changing the name of the placeholder, so it was pretty easy! Thank you!
