Installing wordpress twice on 1 domain (3 posts)

    I have installed wordpress in the public_html folder, so its at http://www.mysite.com. Now I'm trying to install it also in another folder as well, http://www.mysite.com/thisfolder. Can this be done? I go to install.php and enter the blog title and email but it then gets stuck on step 2 of the install.

    Thanks,

    HI,

    It is possible to install wordpress twice on same domain. and if you wish then you can share the same database for your both wordpress blogs.

    What kind of error are you receiving? Please paste the error code here...

    Thanks,

    Shane G.

    To install it twice on the same domain like you are doing (which is totally doable), you need to make sure that you are:

    1. using two seperate databases and that the wp-config.php files are correct to the corresponding database
    2. or, if you want to use the same database for both, you need to make sure that you change the prefix in at least one

    This is done in the wp-config.php file as well.
