hosting multiple wp blogs on debian ??? (3 posts)

    My server is running debian etch

    Installed are:
    apache 1.3.34-4.1
    mysql 5.0.51a-6
    php 5.2.6-2
    wordpress 2.5.1-4

    I have never setup wp before.

    We need to host multiple blogs on one physical server.

    Everything I see that is installed appears specific to only 1-instance of wordpress.

    What am I missing?

    Best Regards,

    helices

    You can create multiple databases on your server or use one database and change each installations table prefix in the wp-config.php file.

    You will also need to install PHPMyAdmin to administer your mysql database(s).

    helices,

    Not sure you're missing anything. Most people are running individual blogs.

    I use Ubuntu, which is basically spiffed up Debian, and you can definitely install multiple blogs separately, each having their own database, and run through different virtual hosts in Apache.

    This machine has at least three on it right now.

    Or, if you're looking for one Master install you might want to take a look at WordPress MU, which is basically what WordPress.com runs.
