   I'm on 2.8.4 actually. I wanted to install a new blog on my current wordpress then upgrade all of them to the latest one. I run them all from one install of the software and one database by making a different database table prefix for each blog. It's all done through symlink magic and it has worked thus far. I'm told the new vsn has a supported way to do multi but just thought I'd bring up the new blog on the old way first then see what adaptations I have to make.

   Normally the installer creates the tables when the blog is first invoked, right? There currently AREN'T ANY tables in the db with the new prefix yet. I *did* set up the new prefix in the config for the new blog but it seems to think it is already installed. What causes this, other than existing tables?

   Make sure that you have set a unique table prefix in the wp-config.php file. See this for more info:

   Well I did find out it is not getting the prefix that I configured, it is checking the prefix for one of the existing blogs. That's why it think's it's already installed, so the question is now why isn't it reading its config from the right config file?

   Are you installing the blogs in separate directories?
