# Installing multiple WordPress blogs on one server

 * I run my own Windows server box from my home. It currently runs Windows Server
   2003 Enterprise Edition R2, with Apache 2.0.59, PHP 5.2.0, and MySQL 5.0. I followed
   the step-by-step instructions on WordPress.org, and I have successfully created
   a blog for one of my domains, drewandjoe.com, that I have hosted on the server.
   However, some of the other sites on my server want WordPress blogs installed 
   as well. I tried doing the same steps as the instructions, but instead making
   a new MySQL user. After doing this and installing WordPress into the users directory,
   it messed up my previously created blog and pushed it back to default settings.
 * Can anyone explain to me how to create additional WordPress blogs for users that
   I have hosted on my server? The reasonable method that I tried didn’t seem to
   work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

 * Same user, new “prefix” in the config file.
    Or new db, new user.

 * It is better to create new DB and user for each of your user.
