As long as both directories don’t share any code/settings/database, things should work. Can you show us a link to your site and directories?
as i work on it it seems more than the thing is that it says that there is no page as i do sitestraduction.com/testwp/
(to know it seems ok if i just do that it says “You don’t have permission to access”
but if i keep going and i put the whole thing for the installation
sitestraduction.com/testwp/wp_admin/install.php
it says “Page not found”
i don’t know if it is i still use windows xp on my samll laptop?
Sorry it is not testwp but testwp2 in the url address
It looks like you’ve installed the second WordPress in a SUBdirectory of the first WordPress site.
That will definitely cause problems, because when you try to access http://sitestraduction.com/testwp2/, the first WordPress site will think you are trying to access a page with the name “testwp2”
You probably have to add some stuff to the first site’s .htaccess file (to tell that every URL with “/testwp2/” is not a page of the actual site), but I’m no expert on that. Try the solution posted here and see if that may help: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/installing-2nd-wordpress-blog-in-sub-directory-of-first-mod_rewrite?replies=5
