 * Hi,
 * Want to create a second blog using same database.
 * Uploaded to the new directory called dagboek:
    – All content of 2.0.1 install
   package. – As this doesn’t contain wp-admin, uploaded wp-admin from the 2.0 install
   package. – Copied existing wp-config.php to new directory with this changed line:
   $table_prefix = ‘wm_’; // example: ‘wp_’ or ‘b2’ or ‘mylogin_’
 * Result when accessing [http://…/dagboek](http://…/dagboek) :
 * It doesn’t look like you’ve installed WP yet. Try running install.php.
 * Then clicked install.php with folowing result:
 * Fatal error: Cannot redeclare check_admin_referer() (previously declared in /
   home/waudamaa/public_html/dagboek/wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php:228) in/
   home/waudamaa/public_html/dagboek/wp-admin/admin-functions.php on line 966
 * Any idea what this is?

 * It should, and just checked the 2.0.1.zip and it is there. Is probably a good
   idea to download all the files again first.

 * _As this doesn’t contain wp-admin, uploaded wp-admin from the 2.0_
 * That means you have a corrupted copy. Download it again and upload the whole 
   WP package into its new directory. Change the table prefix. **Run** the install.
   php.

 * Excellent help. Thanks!
    I had accidentally dragged the wp-admin subdir into 
   the wp-contents subdir. Stupid me!
