One does additional installs of WP using Bitnami in the same way as other AMP (Apache, MySQL, PHP) “stacks” (XAMPP, WAMP, MAMP (Mac)) etc.
The only difference is that you had to have used the default settings for Bitnami during it’s initial install, that is, you had left the “phpMyAdmin” option enabled so that you are able to easily create new, empty databases for the additional WP installs.
Assuming you used the default installation path for Bitnami, your Bitnami web root is located at:
C:\Bitnami\wordpress-3.9.2-0\apache2\htdocs
– extract the downloaded WP ZIP package to this location
– a folder named wordpress will be created which contains all the files necessary for a WP site
– rename this folder to something else so as not to be confused with the initial and subsequent installs; no spaces in the name
– for this example, use wordpress2
– from the Bitnami control panel, select Open phpMyAdmin
– click the Databases tab
– enter a name in the Create database entry box and click Create
– for this example, enter wordpress2 (or whatever you like, just no spaces)
– start the WP installation by entering the following in your browser:
127.0.0.1/wordpress2
– click the Create a Configuration File button
– click the Let's go! button
– enter the following:
— Database Name: wordpress2 (or whatever you named it)
— User Name: root
— Password: the password you entered during the initial install for the WP log in
— Database Host: localhost
— Table Prefix: wp_ (leave as-is)
– click the Submit button
– your name should now be sparky! :-) ... click theRun the install` button
– complete the next screen as required; note to un-check the Privacy item for local installs
– click the Install WordPress button
– log in ??
