Multi install of wordpress under (inside of) another wordpress not working

    This is my second try at posting my question, For some reason my first thread was closed? This is my first try trying to get support from the WP community.
    I have a photography website that I made with WordPress called learning photography. We wanted to add a blog to the site, so I installed a second copy of WordPress in a sub directory on the same server.

    They both have separate databases and both index pages work perfectly. However, when you click on a link in the /blog install it takes you back to the first blog and displays a 404 page not found instead of a page from the second blog!

    I have tried Google various things all morning, and I have gone through the multi-blog install page… perhaps I missed a step?

    I checked the blog settings… I am going to install two blogs on a fresh website with no themes or plugins and see if I get the same problem. I am totally stumped.

    Why are you using 2 installs for the same site? I seems to me that the best solution would be to use one. Just trying to figure out your motivations. There is probably a better solution than using two installs. Please reply with a link.

    I posted a link in the first post on the board and the thread was immediately closed… But I knew you wouldn’t follow what I’m talking about without a link. Learning photography is the main wordpress site. It uses pages to create a standard web site layout. /blog is the Blog where we use posts to create a blog layout.

    I can think of no way to create a standard website layout at the root of a domain, and a blog at /blog without using two installs. If I set /blog as the root of the install, then how do I make the root page for the domain?

    Or if I set the root of the domain as the blog how do I make /blog function as a blog index only for stories posted in the /blog folder 🙂
