Questions about a"2nd installation"

Post by lockwiz »

1. Instead of doing a "shared install"...can a 2nd Serendipity blog be installed on the same site to another folder called something different such as "serendipity2".

2. And also does the mysql database have to be named "serendipity"?

Thanks,

Hi!

1. Yes, this can be done. Just choose "expert installation" and enter a different database prefix, then s9y can live fine with any number of other parallel installations.

2. No, you can call it any name you want, you just need to make sure that an empty database with that name exists.

Best regards,
Garvin
