    having only one database shouldn’t be a problem, BUT then wp needs to know which tables to use : you need to specify the prefix of the tables of your second wp installation. I don’t know how this property would be called; if you can login at yousite.com/en/wp-login then find it in general options. If you can’t then go and search for it directly in the database (through phpmyadmin through your hosting service).
    good luck

    well i explained in the previous post :

    So i’ve created a subdirectory “fr” (for the 2nd language), and i’ve copied all the files there, i’ve set up a second database, and in the wpconfig.php file i changed the name of the database.

    and then last but not least

    i realized i shall check the database : there was the answer, i had omitted to change the value of siteurl in the wp_options table. I changed it by adding /fr/ and now it works just fine.

    if there’s something you don’t understand or don’t know how to do please say what exactly and i’ll explain in more details

    thanks, you set me on the right track, although the change to make wasn’t in wp-config.
    I was searching in wp-config and was about to test by changing

    /** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
    if ( !defined(‘ABSPATH’) )
    define(‘ABSPATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/’);

    but then i realized i shall check the database : there was the answer, i had omitted to change the value of siteurl in the wp_options table. I changed it by adding /fr/ and now it works just fine.

    I’ve just explained that in case someone has the same problem.
    So issue closed. Thanks

    Yeah setting it up is not that hard (yet harder then wp.org says), but then i keep reading posts of things which don’t really work out, espacially for the kind of website i want to have. So i don’t care if it takes more work to do everything 2 times, at least it doesn’t takes days spent on forums for problem solving 😉

    Now talking about problem solving …
    So i’ve created a subdirectory “fr” (for the 2nd language), and i’ve copied all the files there, i’ve set up a second database, and in the wpconfig.php file i changed the name of the database.
    So all smooth.
    BUT, now i thought ok let’s log into my 2nd website so i got
    domainname.com/fr/wp-admin … the problem it automatically redirects me to domainname.com/wp-admin, which is the admin for the english website, not the french one …how to solve that ?
    When i check domainname/fr/index.html all seems fine, the 2nd website is there, but well i’d like to be able to administer it 😀
    Thanks a lot for your help
