The best help link for installing 2nd wordpress site?

Can someone give me what they think is the best link for installing a second wordpress site onto the same godaddy hosting account?

It was relatively easy to get the 1st site going, but now what?

All I was able to do was create a subfolder named after my second domain in the html folder of my ftp, and I installed the theme in that folder but I messed something up and/or missed a step cuz of course the site doesn't show.

Help appreciated!

    You probably want to add the domain as an addon domain:

    Log into your cPanel
    Go to Addon domain and add the domain you want to install WP on
    This will create another folder for that domain inside the public_html folder
    Then you should be able to install wordpress to this domain.

    If you need anymore help with it, shoot me a PM or contact GoDaddy.

      Go with this advice. This is the correct way.

        Not quite. For one thing GoDaddy doesn't have C-panel and root is not public_html with them.
        So ask GoDaddy for the exact way. Better yet switch to a host with cpanel if you are going to be installing a lot of different Wordpress sites. (You'll save about 3-4 minutes each time you install one).

    Try to install whole WordPress installation to your second site root (probably in your case it is subfolder). To do it, you need to download new instance of WP from here. Then unzip it and upload to your ftp folder. After it, pass installation steps and your second site will be installed.

      I need a video that walks me through but couldn't find a good one through google yet. There are too many clicks to be made for a first timer so I need something step by step.

    I ended up using this after doing slight guesswork with the godaddy parts :


    Actually I had to mix and match from a few different urls but this covered the most...
