 * Thanks for your help!
 * Changing $table_prefix in wp-config.php for ‘test2’ only did the trick. After
   the modification the subsequent admin login goes through some installation steps,
   I kinda expected that. But I’ve done some testing by creating a page and a post
   and can see that the initial problem no longer occurs.
 * Since that change to $table_prefix did the trick I’m wondering why it isn’t made
   unique when wordpress gets installed. WordPress makes the MySQL settings unique.
   So why not $table_prefix? Are there any advantages to leaving it set to ‘wp_’?
   If so, under what circumstances?
 * Thanks again!

 * The folders were created prior to installing wordpress using the cpanel file 
   manager. Using cpanel, wordpress was installed twice. First into ‘test1’, and
   then a second time under ‘test2’.
 * I’ve taken a look at both wp-config.php files and $table_prefix is identical.
   So I’ll try changing those to something unique in each config file and see what
   happens. I’ll reply here with the results.

 * Good question!
 * How is the answer determined?
