 * I installed zencart on my root directory and wordpress on a subfolder /blog, 
   and that worked well. Now I want to add another wordpress to my domain and installed
   it in the same way I did the first one, only to a different subdirectory /photo.
   I’ve tried installing it with Fantastico and as it didn’t work, removed it and
   did a manual installation with the same result. The problem is that went I go
   to …/photo/wp-admin it shows the landing page of my domain (which is a zencart
   page). It I cheat and try …/photo/wp-login.php it takes me to the login page 
   where I can enter the username and password. If I enter the wrong password, it
   does the right thing and tells me that’s not correct. If I enter the right login
   details, it looks like is going to take me to the second blog but as it goes 
   back to photo/wp-admin – it just shows me my website landing page (again a zencart
   page). Meanwhile the navigation bar shows the address I want, but the screen 
   shows a different page. So far, there has been no way to get into the succesful
   installation.
    Could there be a previous file that is affecting how this second
   installation is (not)working?

 * Check your root .htaccess file.

 * I checked the root .htaccess file and it was blank. I replaced it with one that
   says DirectoryIndex index.php
    I also check the .htaccess file in the public_html
   folder and that one has quite a bit in it, but I’m not sure what to look for.
   Here is what it says:
 * RewriteOptions inherit
    ## BEGIN CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE
 * RewriteEngine On
 * # Don’t rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC] # Don’t rewrite any URIs for some,
   popular specific file format extensions, # which are not covered by main file
   extension condition above RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(mp3|mp4|h264)$ [NC] #
   Don’t rewrite any URIs for some specific file format extensions, # which are

 * Or could it be one of the plugins I have installed on my first wp folder.

 * No. Both are fully installed on separate subfolders and all the files are installed
   on each folder (separate) their is no wordpress on the root domain, but there
   is zencart.

 * If WP isnlt running the root domain, why do you have:
 *     ```
       # BEGIN WordPress
       <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
       RewriteEngine On
       RewriteBase /
       RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
       RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
       </IfModule>
   
       # END WordPress
       ```
   
 * in your root .htaccess file? That should be removed.
