# Subdomain problems

 * I want to install a second installation of wp in a subdomain on my site so I 
   can have picklebums.com/shop with a separate wp install there.
 * I’ve set up the subdomain and installed wordpress via softalicious and it’s all
   there and working fine at [http://shop.picklebums.com/](http://shop.picklebums.com/)
   but when I try to view it via [http://picklebums.com/shop/](http://picklebums.com/shop/)
   I get a ‘page not found’ message. It appears to be the correct blog install but
   it’s not finding the home page…
 * What have I done wrong?
 * All help and suggestions much appreciated.
 * Kate

 * Why do you expect the store to show up at picklebums.com/shop? That’d be where
   a shop page created on picklebums.com would exist.
 * As of right now, the shop’s homepage is the subdomain you created – [http://shop.picklebums.com/](http://shop.picklebums.com/)

 * What you really want to do is activate the network/multisite feature of WordPress
   and use subfolders, not subdomains. You don’t need a second installation of WordPress.
   Each site within the network can use its own themes and when you install plugins
   you can either activate them for the entire network or leave them to be activated
   on a site-by-site basis.

 * Cin, please create a new topic with your question. That’s the best way to get
   help.

 * Thanks for your ideas and suggestions everyone…
 * I’m assuming it should work like that because that is how my other subdomain 
   works…
 * That address [http://picklebums.com/shop/](http://picklebums.com/shop/) is picking
   up the formatting and theme of the wp install on the subdomain so it appears 
   to be accessing the subdomain somehow?
 * I don’t think I want a multi site install as I don’t want to mess with my current
   blog… I just want to add one separate install so I can keep stats and info separate
   for the shop site.
 * Any insight into why this subdomain is acting differently to my other one for
   my test site would be greatly appreciated.
 * thanks
 * Kate
