   Hey,

   Is it possible to nest installations of wordpress in one domain?

   For example, I'd like to install a main site with wordpress at:

   http://example.com

   with a blog-style site with another installation of wordpress at:

   http://example.com/blog

   and a forum-style site with bbpress at:

   http://example.com/blog/forum

   is this crazy? i'm experiencing database errors so i'm wondering if this something that is not recommended. i don't want to upgrade my web hosting to a private server, so wordpressMU is out of the question. Can anyone comment on this issue and/or recommend an alternative?

   thanks.

   If you are using a single database ensure each WP installation has a different table prefix specified in wp-config.php. You should never use the default table prefix wp_ if you are at all concerned about security anyway.

   Thanks everyone. I panicked a little because i had to reinstall a blog and forgot to change the table prefix in the new wp-config.php file. resulted in all sorts of weird errors.

   Is this a valid question "why not just one install to handle that?" With a static front page, and a forum plugin.
