# 2 installations… one doesn't work (Javascript error)

 * I’ve installed two instances of wordpress in two different directories on our
   website. Site 1 (the original one) works fine. The other (Site 2, the second 
   installed) works OK, but there’s a javascript error in the dashboard and other
   admin pages, which disables the WYSIWYG editor and other JS dependent controls.
 * Some other data points:
    -  Both sites running identical versions 3.2.1 (ended up creating identical 
      directories, exact replica in copying site 1 to site 2 and just updating config
      file)
    - both sites share same DB (and same access credentials), with different table
      prefix
    - config file identical except for unique table prefix
    - Error occurs in both IE and Firefox (see below)
    - Site 2 had no plugins installed and used the default theme (less relevant 
      no that I’ve created an exact copy of Site 1)
 * Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
