 * mathis-family is actually running on jacknkristen . net , except it is on port
   6000. jacknkristen is on port 80.
 * Is there another way to do this? They both will have different versions of WP.

 * It is on a different port because it is the only way I could register a different
   domain name and use the same server. I only have one public IP on my home server.
 * Then I put this into my header to redirect to the port so that IIS can keep the
   incoming request sent to the correct web site without having to link second site
   to the first with a hyperlink.
    NOTE:Spaces added to urls for the thread.

 * I am installed in /firstsite and it works with dbuser1.
    /wwwroot is also wp1.5
   and everything works fine.
 * I am attempting to install (have copied the new install files) WP2 into /mathis-
   family with user mathis.
 * /firstsite is on port 80 on a given IP and /mathis-family is on port 6000 on 
   the same IP.
 * It seems that WP is trying to identify itself by IP and then call files without
   giving attention to port. This is why it is able to jump from /mathis-family/
   wp-config to /firstsite/wp-config and login with dbuser1 instead of mathis. Is
   this possible? Is there a fix in wp-settings?

 * It it reading the images from the directory in the second site, but the DB from

 * I just tried to access the index.php on the second site and it brings up the 
   settings for the second site with the blog from the first. Does WP recognize 
   ports or just IPs?

 * I created the database mathis. I only have one username for the phpmyadmin that
   I know of. I created it with that account. I also only have one user for mysql.
   I tried the install again and it says things are already installed. any other
   ideas? This site runs on port 6000 and I’ve tested php there and it is in a completely
   different directory from the first site on port 80.
