# Multiple blogs using XAMPP

 * I am trying to test multiple blogs on my PC using XAMPP. There seems to be a 
   problem doing this as my second blog seems to contain a header and footer from
   my first blog. No matter how I edit the header.php or footer.php file on my second
   blog I cannot make the changes happen. I have two different directories — L:\
   xampplite\htdocs\xampp\wordpress and L:\xampplite\htdocs\xampp\acme. The acme
   directory is the latest blog that I can’t seem to behave. The acme blog contains
   the header and footer from the default twenty ten theme.

 * I run 5 blogs on my PC (for testing various WP releases) under XAMPP and all 
   work well.
 * Did you copy part of the first blog while setting up the second? Check all the
   settings under Admin->Settings->General. Also check for any url’s in the database,
   or redirects in the .htaccess file.

 * I am trying to follow exactly the “Head First WordPress” book I just purchased
   and may have missed some detail. I think my best bet is to redo the example from
   the start and pay closer attention to detail in the book. Also, I don’t know 
   where to find the .htaccess file and what to look for in it.
 * What I have now in my acme blod is the twenty ten header image and also no footer.

 * the .htaccess file would be in the \wordpress and \acme folders.
 * Its generated by WP in the root of each WP install, if you are using permalinks.
   If you haven’t set up permalinks, it may not exist
