 * Hi there,
 * I have installed WP on my server and works fine. How ever I have added another
   domain to the hosting. But when I try to install WP for that domain it keep giving
   me the following messgae:
 * The file ‘wp-config.php’ already exists one level above your WordPress installation
 * and then uses the WP-Config from the install on the folder above it!
 * How do I stop this happening as the domain needs its own DB and not use the same
   as the other!

 * quick fix
    rename the wp-config.php from the other folder temporarily – run the
   install – change the wp-config.php back
 * are you sure you have created a different database? or are you using the same
   one? if using the same one, you must change the `table_prefix` to something different.

 * Sorted….. that one worked….. It would be good to have the ‘OPTION’ though to 
   either use the config above or create new in current directory.
 * Thanks
