In reply to: Two blogs on one hostI’m not sure what was wrong. i could not login to the new db, so deleted it and reinstalled WP on the subdomain using Fantastico and now everything works! Ponderous, man, ponderous. but thanks for all you troubleshooting efforts!

In reply to: Two blogs on one hostthanks guys for the quick response: I created a new MySQL db for the new blog, I like to keep everything separate. I installed a new copy of WP to the ~www/blog2 folder and changed the wp-config.php to the correct information on the lines:
db name
db user
db pass
localhostand left the table_prefix of ‘wp_’ the same since i figured it will only be looking at the new db.
Since the blog information is in ~www/blog2 and not the root folder, would this cause any issues? I left the localhost as the default, localhost, should that be something different since it is not in the root folder?

In reply to: Setting up a new blog with existing blog runningok I have a similar situation, but slighty different:
Background:
– WordPress v1.5.2.
– Existing blog running with the default setting $table_prefix = ‘wp_’ set in the wp-config.php file.
– Existing blog set up and running with MySQL database.
– Existing blog installed under ~/www/
– New blog to have it own MySQL database.
– New blog installed under ~/www/blog2
– Second copy of WP already installed a second copy of WP into the new blog2 directory
– Editted wp-config.php file with new MySQL database information settings.Want:
– Add a second or a third WP blog off the same domain/host.
– Ability for each blog to behave independently.Issue:
– When I try to set up the new blog I get the following error mgs:
Error establishing a database connectionThis either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.
___________________________________________I am positive that the wp-config file is correct and the host server is running.
what am I doing incorrectly?
I am clay in your hands, mold me 🙂
