Problem Running Multiple Blogs

    I’ve been using WP for a little over a year now and have decided to start up a new blog on my main page, tellyouwhatithink.com. I also had another blog at tellyouwhatithink.com/family until I installed WP in the root directory for the domain. Upon install, the new install took over the control of the other somehow, changing it’s format, theme, etc. I’ve looked over the doc at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_Multiple_Blogs, and have done what they said, but with no success. I had changed the wp-config.php file to have 2 different table prefixes –

    $table_prefix = 'family_';
    and
    $table_prefix = 'main_site_';

    But it still doesn’t work. Fortunately I had backed up the databases recently, so not everything was lost. Anybody else have this same problem? Does anybody have any wisdom to pass on? Thanks in advance.

    I hope not both in one config file ??

    No, I think I figured out my problem. Seemed that WP didn’t like the underscore in

    $table_prefix = 'main_site_';

    I changed it to just

    $table_prefix = 'main_';

    And I haven’t had any problems since then.
