I have blabla.com featuring a blog, and want to play around with a new blog at blabla.com/bla. So I now created this folder /bla, uploaded the wordpress files there and am about to go to admin.php to start the installation.

But I was worried that this may overwrite my prior wordpress installation in the MySQL database. I know too little about how such databases work to figure out whether I can just do that or not.

Thanks for your help

So in my normal blog blabla.com the info in wp-config is this (I edited it somewhat):

// ** MySQL settings – You can get this info from your web host ** //
/** The name of the database for WordPress */
define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘123torvon’);

/** MySQL database username */
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘123torvon’);

/** MySQL database password */
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘x’);

/** MySQL hostname */
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘123torvon.mysql-xxx.com’);

/** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */
define(‘DB_CHARSET’, ‘utf8’);

/** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */
define(‘DB_COLLATE’, ”);

In my new https://www.blabla.com/bla/wordpress folder in ftp explorer, there is no wp-config file (yet), only wp-configsample, but I assume the new wp-config file will be created from this. There is not yet info in this file obviously.

So what to do now? Thanks!
