  I want to install a second copy of WordPress (2.7 in this case). I currently have a hosting account with the following partial directory structure:

  public_html
  blog
  MyDomain
  CustomerDomain

  MyDomain is the directory representing my main website
  blog is the directory into which WordPress was installed.
  This blog is currently in production and is not to be changed in any way.

  CustomerDomain is a directory representing the domain of one of my development customers. Domain is unrelated to my production blog. There is an existing website in this directory I would like to replace with one run on WP.

  I use HostMonster which has SimpleScripts which has an automated install for WP 2.7.

  I want to know how I should go about doing the install so as not to mess up my existing blog. The two blogs must not share anything, so that at a later time one could be moved to a new host without the other.

  Theree are up to date backups of all files and the database & all tables in the existing WP Blog.

  Thanks for the assistance.

  You did not specify a blog address or reason for posting when you created this topic.

  This support forum is for WordPress.com hosted blogs only. If you have a self-hosted WordPress blog you need to seek help at the WordPress.org forums, not here.

  If you don’t understand the difference, you may find this information helpful.
