Can’t setup 2nd wordpress installation

    I run a wordpress blog about a particular topic, and now I want to run a second blog about more general things. I installed a 2nd installation of wordpress with a “wp2_ ” prefix in wp_config.php (as I found it described), and I copied the part about the database (SQL settings) from my old wp_config into the new one, I have only one database.

    My problem: when I try to access the 2nd blog, I enter my first blog (?!!), can’t get into that new installation to set it up.

    I suspect it has something to do with the way sub-folders are organized on my domain, and with redirecting URL into particular folders. To make it concrete:
    I have four domain URLs, two of these (let’s call them name2.com) are redirected internally to a subfolder /guitar (in the web interface of the provider)
    –> if someone goes to http://www.name2.com he is redirected to mydomain.com/guitar

    the first blog is installed in /guitar/blog and runs without problems under name2.com/blog

    the new 2nd blog is installed into /blog
    if i go to mydomain.com/blog I end in name2.com/blog, which is the old blog
    I don’t understand this.

    Is there something in the database that directs my new blog to that first one? What can I do?

    You’re in the wrong place. You need to be at wordpress.org/support for help with self-hosted blogs.
