Multiple Wordpress installs on separate domains?

Multiple Wordpress installs on separate domains?

This is probably a big newbie question, but I've looked throughout the wiki and board a good many times for the answer, and cannot find it. Any help would be appreciated.

I currently have Wordpress installed on domain A, with several other fully hosted domains on my account.

Can I install another Wordpress install with a separate database on domain B without interfering with my blog/database on domain A? I would assume this is fine, but I did not see it specifically addressed anywhere and wanted to make sure it did not mess anything up with domain A.

You absolutely *can* do that, with no problems. The only *possible* potential problems would arise if your "domain b" was setup on Dreamhost with its "web" directory as a sub-directory of domain A, in which case .htaccess files could be problematic (this is *not* the "default" way Dreamhost sets up multiple domains - you would have had to re-map a sudir for this situation to occurr).smile

As long as each of the domains are in a directory tree of their own under your user, you should have no problems.

I have run several sites this way.
