Installing on WHS

    Hey Everyone,

    I was hoping someone might have an answer to this question. I’m running a WHS in my home and I’m getting ready to install WordPress as my blog now. My question is would it be a risk or perhaps a problem to install the WordPress files to a D: shared directory on the server opposed to the norm c:\inetpub\blog directory on the server? FYI, “blog” can be named anything of course. In other words, could I copy all the WordsPress files to the pooled storage opposed to a non-pooled storage drive such as C:?

    Thanks in advance,
    -SPOON

    You can host the website and blog off any folder on any drive. If you want to keep your main site at C:\Inetpub, you can add a virtual directory that points to the blog folder off the D:\ drive or wherever. Follow these instructions-

    Good luck.
