 * I have two wordpress sites already on the same hosting server, linked to the 
   same MySQL. They each have their own domains.
 * I want to install a third wordpress site on a new domain, but have forgotten 
   how this is done.
 * Do I go through the usual installation process once the wordpress files have 
   been put on my new domain’s root directory? Or do I need to manually edit something?
 * I am worried if I install this third wordpress site it will mess up my others
   somehow. I’ve read multiple articles stating different things.
 * Thanks

 * I would recommend a different directory for each site, then point each individual
   domain to a different directory. You can use one database for all the WordPress
   sites, but be sure you use a different database prefix (the default is “wp_”)
   so that existing database tables do not get overwritten with the new installation.
