How Can I Install Joomla (separatelly) For More Than One Domains In A Single Hosting Account?
February 28, 2010 under FAQ
so i started out with site1
the only thing that i have ever done is install joomla throught fantastico which was to the root folder
I now have another domain site2 that i want to add-on and i did so
i would like to put a separate joomla installation for site2. when i try it tells me that there is already a joomla in the root folder. so my thought is that i need to create another folder? i don’t know how to create the folder so that it will allow me to have 2 joomla’s- one for each site.

When you add an add-on domain then cpanel automatically creates a new folder for your new domain. Check again and if you can’t found the folder then remove and add again the second domain.
The first thing you need to check is with your hosting provider. Will they allow you to point more domains to subfolders of your root directory?
If they do, then go into fantastico and begin again. Fantastico defaults to the root folder, but in the setup it asks if you want to create a new folder or use an existing folder in your root folder. If you don’t see the ability within fantastico to create a new folder, it should give you the option to create within an existing folder.
If you don’t know how to create a new folder, go into your FTP program under “File” and look for “New Folder”. This should install a new folder in your root directory. Name the new folder something that will be easy for you to remember that this is your new site’s folder.
You will need to have a separate folder in your root directory so that you can point your domain to it and not have to reference any of the files in your root directory.
Hope this helps!
