Can I install wordpress in a sub directory so it doesn\’t take over my index page?

I had site files for a new site ftp’ed over to the ip destination, then I installed wordpress via the back office installer. It seems to have plunked wordpress into the main directory so it took over the other site files. I don’t see any options near the install button to select a destination directory. But it’s all new to me, so I hope I’m missing something simple.

You sure can! If you are using our Web Apps tool in SiteAdmin, simply enter the directory you wish to use/create in the directory text field as indicated on step 4 of the following link…
