2 WordPress Blogs with 2 MySQL Databases and 1 Hosting service

  • Hello all,

    I have one blog/domain with a hosting service and I would like to add a second one with another domain name with the same hosting provider.

    1) I created the new MySQL DB
    2) Created a new folder in the hosting root path
    3) Copied WP 3.3 in that folder and modified the wp-config.php file accordingly.

    From this point on, I am a little bit lost.

    Could anyone provide some helpful info?

    Thank you!

  • In your webhost’s ‘Domain Manager’, have you pointed this domain to the new folder, verified all ‘a’ records and Domain Name Server (DNS) settings? If you are not sure about these items contact your webhost for guidance.

    Once above is verified, you need to login as admin at:
    http : // yoursite.com /wp-admin/ which will run the initial setup.

    Thanks a lot for your feedback. I am right at this moment redirecting the domain to the DNS provided by the hosting service so I still have to wait some hours to see the effect.

    so, the above setup I mentioned should be correct to achieve it?

    Can you access the site directly through ip address or other technique while the DNS is propagating? Ask webhost.

    …and the DNS propagation usually takes more than a few hours, 24-48 is normal…
