how to install blog and wordpress

  • Hi. how to install wordpress in localhost/blog/ when an installation of wordpress is already running in localhost ? actually i am running an ecommerce website on wordpress and i want to link a blog with it on localhost/blog. reading on the internet i saw that for a blog with existing wordpress site we have to install wordpress in a subdirectory but when i install the wordpress in a subdirectory named blog it is not accepting any logins or passwords not even localhost/blog/wp-login.php link works.

    can anyone knows how to do it or how to make a blog in a website already running on wordpress ?

  • Do you have control of the main WP installation? Check out https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network.

    Using a network, you won’t need multiple WP installations. You can have do it all through the main one.

    You will have two options.

    1. Your second blog will be accessed like https://www.example.com/blog/.
    2. Your second blog will be accessed like https://blog.example.com/.

    I prefer the second option and have done many installations this way. Name it something better than “blog” though.

    Thanks Rexgoode for the reply. i have done the same that is mentioned in https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Create_A_Network.

    the second option “Your second blog will be accessed like https://blog.example.com/” is selected and it has also made a domain
    https://forum.mysite.com/
    but when i click on its dashboard it says
    “Internal Server Error

    The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

    Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

    More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

    Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    kindly help what to do and how to install blog/forums in it
    Thanks

    Go back and check the instructions again. Your wp-config.php and most likely, your .htaccess files are not quite right. There should have been a point in the process where you were asked to copy certain code into both files. It looks like you missed something. If you start with your wp-config-sample.php file again and fill in the right database login information, you can do the whole process over. Do the steps exactly, especially making sure to carefully put the right code into .htaccess and wp-config.php. Also, check the permissions on all of your root directory files.

    It’s not WP.

    Go to https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/forums.marthut.com

    See how there are X’s for all your IPs? That’s what’s wrong. You need to either make wildcard subdomains, or manually define the subdomain on your server.
