   Hi!

   I made a script (mass-install.php) which I run and it then makes multiple installs of wordpress. But I have some trouble with it. Primary mass-install.php contains all the codes and commands from wp-admin/install.php. And I have a "for" loop in it to change the database prefix for multiple blog installs using the same database.

   The first run is ok (all tables and files get installed 100%). The next run I get the message "You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first." ... and that's the problem. I have no idea why. The prefixes are unique etc. everything is fine. I have that feeling that I need to CLOSE and RE-OPEN the mysql connection for every blog install ... but I don't know how to do that.

   How can I reset the complete db connection ??? Could this solve the problem?

   Thanks for your help!!

   Why do you need mass installations? How many is "mass"? Are you setting up multiple blogs for various users, or is this something like a splog farm?

   I'd recommend soliciting advice on the WP Hackers list.

   ok. I subscribed there. However, does anybody have any tip for me? What could be the problem?

   WHERE can I find the script in which the database installation and table creation for installation is made? It seems as it is using always the same prefix (111_) instead of using (111_ then 222_ then 333_) ...
