Trouble installing a second blog in same database.

  • I’m trying to create another blog in the same mySQL database, and I get

    Already Installed

You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.

    First database used

    $table_prefix = ‘blog’;

    this one is

    $table_prefix = ‘blog2_’;

    How do you get it to look at the $table_prefix and notice that the new blog does NOT exist?

    Check your database and see what prefix’s are taken. You may have already used them without knowing?

    Those two are the only prefixes. If I go to

    wp-admin/install.php

    and remove

    // Let’s check to make sure WP isn’t already installed.
    if ( is_blog_installed() ) {display_header(); die(‘<h1>’.__(‘Already Installed’).'</h1><p>’.__(‘You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.’).'</p></body></html>’);}

    then it installs just fine!

    Well if you used the prefix already, that is, if it’s already IN the database, then yes, it will error like that.
