Title: Multiple blogs Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Multiple blogs * [ikier](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ikier/) * (@ikier) * [18 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/) * I’m trying to create another blog under a different domain on the same server and have uploaded according to the wordpress instructios. When I run the install. php I get the following: “wp-config-php already installed” Also when I go to my SQL management it show no content in the data base. It appears since I already have WordPress installed on the server I can’t install another and according to the wp instructions I should be able to. Can anyone help?

However, I did what you suggested and got the same result. I used wp2. Any other thoughts?

It keeps saying its already installed. I also changed the prefix…nothing. * HELP * [caroljm36](https://wordpress.org/support/users/caroljm36/) * (@caroljm36) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742306) * Same here – it’s been days now I can’t start a new blog. It’s a drag too because when I try different themes on an existing blog it messes thing up. I got rid of a custom header on blog A that is being used on blog B, and it disappeared from both blogs. Guess I have to create a new account entirely. * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742307) * and not a single link to see what the problem might be. The above solution should work. I have several blogs hosted in one database just by changing the table prefix for each blog. Always has worked. * [kinkysexlink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinkysexlink/) * (@kinkysexlink) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742308) * A link of what…the error message? * Seems like there are plenty of similar questions already in the forum….and no answer. * I have changed my table prefix, did exactly as said in the multiple blog guide. Then I go to the install.php file and here is your link: [http://www.funsexxxtoys.com/kinkysex/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.funsexxxtoys.com/kinkysex/wp-admin/install.php) * [Samuel B](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samboll/) * (@samboll) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742309) * [http://www.funsexxxtoys.com/kinkysex/wp-admin/install.php](http://www.funsexxxtoys.com/kinkysex/wp-admin/install.php) Can you log in to this blog with old blog credentials ? * [kinkysexlink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinkysexlink/) * (@kinkysexlink) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742310) * How can I log into it if its not installed? There is no credentials yet created. * I can log into my older blog no problem.

I can easily ignore your problem. * [kinkysexlink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinkysexlink/) * (@kinkysexlink) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742312) * I am sorry, it was a genuine question…I am not an expert at all at this. Was not giving attitude. I did not understand the question before. * Yes I can log into [http://www.funsexxxtoys.com/kinkysex](http://www.funsexxxtoys.com/kinkysex). But that a free blog right of wordpress.com. I would like to transfer it to my server like I did with my first one….but keep running into the error above. * Thanks * [Dgold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgold/) * (@dgold) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742313) * Maybe you’re already too far down the path, but if not… * Look into using the Virtual Multi-Blog technique (VMB) instead. For me it was a much easier way to install multiple blogs. * I did 3 or 4 blogs, installing separately, by-hand, like it sounds like you’re doing. It became a huge pain to upgrade them all. Then I discovered VMB and it’s been much easier to make 5-10 more blogs. * [http://striderweb.com/nerdaphernalia/features/virtual-multiblog/](http://striderweb.com/nerdaphernalia/features/virtual-multiblog/) * good luck with your sites * [kinkysexlink](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kinkysexlink/) * (@kinkysexlink) * [17 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multiple-blogs-7/#post-742314) * Thanks Dgold, * Sounds interesting. Even if easy may be a bit more then I can digest. Will study it and see if I can figure it out. I am pc savvy but maybe not quite that much. * I am still open to other suggestions.
