   Hi. I want to run two blogs on one domain. So I am setting up two separate WP installs as required.

   Their WordPress installation URL is:

   1. http://domain.com/wp/wp-admin
   2. http://domain.com/wp2/wp-admin

   This works.

   For both blogs, I have the website itself running from outside WP directories, so I have their "blog URLs" as follows, respectively:

   1. http://domain.com/site/
   2. http://domain.com/site2/

   This is how I have set it up in the Options --> General in the admin in each blog.

   I have also created the physical folders "site" and "site2". And each of these folders has its own index.php. The code is as advised--for example, inside the "site" folder, the index.php is:

   <?php
   /* Short and sweet */
   define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
   require('../wp/wp-blog-header.php');
   ?>

   Finally, I would like to manage all the permalink stuff from within my root folder through the site wide .htaccess file, which is presently as follows:

   RewriteEngine On
   
   RewriteBase /site/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /site/index.php [L]
   
   RewriteBase /site2/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /site2/index.php [L]
   
   RewriteBase /wp2/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /wp2/index.php [L]
   
   RewriteBase /wp/
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /wp/index.php [L]

   Both the WP admin sites are working fine. I can administer the blogs separately and properly.

   But site and site2 are not working. I can see their front page fine, but when I click on an individual post link, it always ends up on site2. Even from "site", it ends up on "site2"!

   (Neither of my themes have a "404" page. But the root .htaccess has a directive `ErrorDocument 404 /' which used to forward the user to the site's main page if there was a 404.)

   Any thoughts on what is going wrong, and how I can resolve this? I've been reading the manual to no avail!

   Thanks so much in advance!
