How do I install wordpress to a second website?

  • Hello there….

    Im pretty new to this but Ive used WordPress to set up https://www.liverprint.com and now I want to use it again to set up https://www.unsignedsounds.net both of which are hosted by one.com

    I cannot get the 2nd one to work with explorer simply not bringin up the install page and Mozilla bringing up messy page that has error: already installed written in it.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Michael

    Help Me Someone PLEASE!!

    Read the documentation on multiple installs of WP, found «here».

    Without more information on your configuration, etc., it would be difficult to diagnose a specific problem. I would go through the documentation and various links to see what other people have done and try to find a similar scenario and resolution there.

    I am wrestling with a similar problem on multiple blog atm myself, so good luck!

    @liverprint
    did you create a separate database for the 2nd install?
    If not, and you’re trying to use the same database as your original install, you will need to change the
    $table_prefix in the 2nd install’s wp-config.php to something different than the 1st install

    read the link supplied above as it is helpful

    I dont understand.

    The new install is to a completely different website and Im using a completely different computer to install upload the wordpress files and install.

    Im not terrific at all this but something isnt right there or am I really not understanding something about the whole wordpress thing!??

    The new install is to a completely different website and Im using a completely different computer to install upload the wordpress files and install.

    But you are using the same host and so by your comments I will assume you didn’t create a new database or adjust the table prefix as noted above

    it doesn’t matter what computer you use to upload files and it does not matter if it is a different website

    you are using the same hosting space – that is what matters
    now – you either need to create a new mysql database for the new install or do what I mentioned in the wp-config.php file in my above posting

    Multiple Databases
    You’ll need a separate MySQL database for each blog you plan to install. If you have not yet created these, basic instructions are found here.

    The wp-config.php file will vary for each installation. The lines to change are:

    define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
    define(‘DB_USER’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
    define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘password’); // …and password
    DB_NAME will be the name of the individual database created for that blog. If you are using different user logins for each database, edit DB_USER and DB_PASSWORD to reflect this, as well.

    Upload each wp-config.php file to its specific root/installation directory, and run the installation. See Installing WordPress for more information.

    Again, bear with me as im not great at this, but Im assuming I should be changing db name to unsignedsounds, user to unsignedsounds_ as per the details from one.com and password to the mysql password given to me by one.com?? and thats it???

    thats all i recall doing with the first site…..

    One.com only offers one domain, hosting and mysql – the thre are tied together. They do not offer addon domains, strictly one domain per hosting account.

    I clicked your link and got erros establishing database connection. Your database access are issued automaticaly by one.com and can only be used for the allocated domain name.

    Again, bear with me as im not great at this, but Im assuming I should be changing db name to unsignedsounds, user to unsignedsounds_ as per the details from one.com and password to the mysql password given to me by one.com?? and thats it???

    That is correct
