second wp installation not loading

  • [ Moderator note: title de-capped. Please don’t use all caps it comes across as yelling and that’s considered rude. ]

    I installed zencart on my root directory and wordpress on a subfolder /blog, and that worked well. Now I want to add another wordpress to my domain and installed it in the same way I did the first one, only to a different subdirectory /photo. I’ve tried installing it with Fantastico and as it didn’t work, removed it and did a manual installation with the same result. The problem is that went I go to …/photo/wp-admin it shows the landing page of my domain (which is a zencart page). It I cheat and try …/photo/wp-login.php it takes me to the login page where I can enter the username and password. If I enter the wrong password, it does the right thing and tells me that’s not correct. If I enter the right login details, it looks like is going to take me to the second blog but as it goes back to photo/wp-admin – it just shows me my website landing page (again a zencart page). Meanwhile the navigation bar shows the address I want, but the screen shows a different page. So far, there has been no way to get into the succesful installation.
    Could there be a previous file that is affecting how this second installation is (not)working?

  • Check your root .htaccess file.

    I checked the root .htaccess file and it was blank. I replaced it with one that says DirectoryIndex index.php
    I also check the .htaccess file in the public_html folder and that one has quite a bit in it, but I’m not sure what to look for.
    Here is what it says:

    RewriteOptions inherit
    ## BEGIN CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE

    RewriteEngine On

    # Don’t rewrite any URIs ending with a file extension (ending with .[xxxxx])
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.[a-z]{2,5}$ [NC]
    # Don’t rewrite any URIs for some, popular specific file format extensions,
    # which are not covered by main file extension condition above
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(mp3|mp4|h264)$ [NC]
    # Don’t rewrite any URIs for some specific file format extensions,
    # which are not covered by main file extension condition above
    # Uncomment the following line to apply this condition! (Remove the # at the start of the next line)
    #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(3gp|3g2|h261|h263|mj2|mjp2|mp4v|mpg4|m1v|m2v|m4u|f4v|m4v|3dml)$ [NC]

    ## END CEON URI MAPPING REWRITE RULE
    # BEGIN WordPress

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

    Is WordPress running from the root domain?

    Thread Starter bblackbird

    (@bblackbird)

    No. Both are fully installed on separate subfolders and all the files are installed on each folder (separate) their is no wordpress on the root domain, but there is zencart.

    Site url?

    wp1 https://moomenursingwear.com/blog
    wp2 https://moomenursingwear.com/photo

    If WP isnlt running the root domain, why do you have:

    # BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

    in your root .htaccess file? That should be removed.
