   Hi,

   I have successfully installed a blog at;

   http://www.mydomain.com/blog_1

   I am now wanting to install a second blog with a link from my first blog (blog_1) to my second blog (blog_2) at the following address. essentially a blog within a blog.

   http://www.mydomain.com/blog_1/blog_2

   I have uploaded the latest version of wordpress to http://www.mydomain.com/blog_1/blog_2 and made the wp-config file identical to the wp-config file located in blog_1.

   However, i can not access my blog at http://www.mydomain.com/blog_1/blog_2 and I get the following message;

   Oops! This link appears broken.
   Suggestions:
   Go to www. wikicoaching. co. uk
   Search http://www.wikicoaching.co.uk for derbyshire
   Search on Google:

   Can anyone advise how to solve this?

   Thanks

   Why not just install it like this:

   http://www.mydomain.com/blog_1
   http://www.mydomain.com/blog_2

   What's the advantage of trying to install the second blog inside the first blog's directory?

   totally agree with figaro's approach. However, you can't have an identical wp-config.php. You need to change the $table_prefix for the 2nd blog to something totally different or both blogs will try to unsuccessfully access the same info.

   Hi,

   You are absolutely right; those domains make much more sense.

   How do I change the $table_prefix for the second blog?

   Thanks

   Just open the wp-config.php in the second one and change the prefix there. Then you will be prompted to install the blog tables in the same database. See the following video for more info.
