What I need to do:
I already have one domain with an instance of Wordpress running, now I want to install Wordpress on my 2nd domain.

What I tried:
1. Fantastico
2. Clicked on Wordpress on the left.
3. Clicked on New Installation.
4. Selected my second domain from the dropdown menu, filled in the rest of the fields.
5. Error message says:
- You chose to install in the main directory of the domain bidhardcore.com, but there are conflicting filenames, therefore we can not proceed. Following filenames already exist in the main directory of the domain bidhardcore.com (path="/home/heatunit/public_html/").You must manually remove these files before proceeding with auto-installation:
[a list of a bunch of wordpress files]

Why is it trying to install to this directory? I assume this is because I parked the domain? But if its not parked then I dont see it in the dropdown.

Parking a domain points it to the same files as your main domain and means you can't install anything on it separately.

To do what you want you need to remove the domain from being parked and reapply it as an add-on domain so that it points to its own folder.
