Serendipity Forums

My question is how do i run a second weblog on my server. Now i have uploaded serendipity software and have one single weblog: http://www.wesselvanschaijk.nl....

What is it that i need to do? Upload the software once more to a subfolder or???
I remember i once tried to run something else on my server (dont know what) and if i typed in the path (on my new blog it should be something like this: http://www.wesselvanschaijk.nl/architecture/index.html) only my main, normal weblog kept appearing. So this problem may occur...

So to come short: Which steps do i have to take to run a second weblog?

After that its a matter of shaping and tweaking. My idea is to start a second weblog on my server where i post picture galleries of architectural works i visited.

Basically i would make a single entry for like (for instance) each church. The entry on the home of my blog should show one larger picture and next to it some data. Think of Category: Name: Location: Style: and underneath somewhere in (coloured) stars how great i find it... (5 stars max)

If you click further you get more photos and above it i might say something about the church (or may not). I would also like to geotag it and that somewhere pops up a google map with its location.... I would also like to investigate the option if i could put up a larger map with all entries geotagged.

Hi!

If you want multiple independent blogs, then yes, you need to install serendipity multiple times into each subdirectory. Make sure you choose "expert installation" and then you can choose a different database prefix for each.

Experienced developers can use the "Shared installation" method, which uses Serendipity as some kine of PEAR-like repository.

You cannot easily install Serendipity inside each other, so you cannot install one s9y to / and another one to /blog. You need to install s9y to something like /main and /blog and /etc - you might not "stack" serendipity into each other, because then it has trouble relating to its files.

However, you should consider if you really need independent blogs. Reading your description, you should be able to simply use Categories for your blog postings, then you have URLs like /categories/Churches/ to see all postings to churches.

Separate installations is the easy way to go. I now have 3 separate installs on my server. Each has its own dedicated database and user in MySQL, and each website has a separate serendipity installation within its own site space. Keeps things simple.
