    Hello,
    I currently have WordPress in a subdirectory and from reading the requirements for WordPressMU we are required to have WordPress installed in the root document.

    We currently have our @ pointing to Magento which is our eCommerce solution for the main domain.

    We are trying to incorporate a blog, article database amongst other project like this.

    site.com (eCommerce store) IP being pointed to Magento store.
    site.com/blog – powered by WordPress
    site.com/articles – articles powered by WordPress

    Can someone direct us in the right direction of making this installation successful? Do we install WordPress multiple times in different sub-directories for each project? or..?

    Thank you all very much.

    Hello let me get this straight…..You have your main site

    site.com if you want to run a blog lets say site.com/blog you can install wordpress in site.com/blog folder

    You want to run wordpress articles in site.com/articles…….that would represent another wordpress installation in site.com/articles folder.

    If that is what you want to do then you need two separate wordpress installations.

    Hello mbrsoluton,

    That’s exactly it.

    So I guess installing WordPress for the two projects is what its looking like.

    Does anyone know if its best to assign one database for each sub-directory install or install all WordPress projects in the same database?

    Thanks!

    I think this is what I need to look into.

    Too bad I can’t create a network when WordPress is in subdirectory.

    We would hate to go the route of multiple installations only to find out an implementation/workaround is in the near future.

    Yes that is what you can implement http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Multiple_Blogs

    Because you are trying to set up two different projects in wordpress the above would suite you very well.

    Kind regards
