 * I installed WP on my server, no problem. Then when I installed a second WP in
   a subdirectory with a different domain name when I go to the new site I get the
   first WP. What do I need to do to make a seperate, new WP that runs on the same
   db? thanks–

 * You will need to change the prefix for the second installation of WP. By default
   it uses “wp_”, you can change it “wp2_” and it will keep the second blog happy.

 * You need to install the second wp with a prefix different from the first. The
   prefix is in the wp-config.php
    —————————————————————– $table_prefix = ‘wp_’;//
   example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’ —————————————————————— By default, this 
   prefix is wp_, choose another: cr_, gb_,.. for the second wp and launch the installation
   see here: [http://www.in-my-catalog.com](http://www.in-my-catalog.com) and two
   other wp blogs
