Basic Wordpress install question

[Erica C.]

I've done this right and I've done this wrong in the past. I'd rather do it right from the start this time. So where do I install Wordpress? Is it in mydomain or mydomain/www?
Thanks!

Pretty much everything you want to be available goes under www. The exception is cgi-bin which is fairly obsolete.

Erica,

It depends on how you are installing WordPress...

If you are manually installing then you would want to install it in the /www Directory.

However if you are using the App Manager then you would want to leave the directory name blank so that it installs as noted below

"The domain and directory selected above represent the URL (web page link) shown here:"
http://mydomain.com/

The installer will automatically install it in the /www. If you add www as a Directory it will end up being installed as http://mydomain.com/www which is not what you want...
