Multiple INDEPENDANT WordPress sites

  • Hi,

    On my IIS, I have 2 websites :
    – Old HTML website
    – A WordPress 4.9.4 blog for friends

    MySql 5.7 and PHP7.23 are already installed

    I wanted to change the old website into WordPress but I want to keep both sites totally independents.
    Is it possible ? Does I only need to copy WordPress unzipped to the old site folder (after removing all previous HTML files) ?

    Thanks,

    Vincent

  • Yes it is possible.
    You only need do a little bit more than you expected, (database + config).
    If the present websites are independent then the html upgraded to WP will be too.

    – Archive the old HTML site files, you will probably want to stripmine them for content. Delete the files from the webserver.
    – Copy a fresh set of WordPress files into the same directory.
    – Create a new database and database user + password, configure these into the wp-config.php of the new site.
    – Run the install script.

    The details are in the install instructions:
