   Hi.

   I would like to use a Wordpress install on my site at

   http://MYDOMAIN.com/blog/wordpress/

   All the instructions in the Codex suggest the steps for

   http://MYDOMAIN.com/wordpress/

   Which is only one directory down from the root folder. When I try to follow the same instructions with one directory replaced by the two directories (in blog options, and in htaccess) then I get a 404.

   Any ideas or pointers on getting this working?

   Thanks!

   In your domain's web-root folder, create a folder called blog. Then upload the whole wordpress folder from your local machine to that sub-folder (blog).

   Then after setting your database info in wp-config.php, visit mydomain.com/blog/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php to launch the installation.

   Michael, this works for one blog under "blog" but not for two. I want

   http://MYDOMAIN.com/blog/firstblog
   http://MYDOMAIN.com/blog/secondblog

   With permalinks and all that htaccess voodoo, the firstblog works fine. But the secondblog gives a 404 and shows the header from firstblog, which means it's trying to get at the firstblog and looking at some page there called "secondblog".

   Any ideas?

   Can't imagine why blog/firstblog/.htaccess would be used by blog/secondblog...
