Second Textpattern installation in subfolder of domain

Say I have a Textpattern-driven website on domain.com.

I want a second, isolated Textpattern-driven site using its own separate database in domain.com/secondsite/.

Are there any conflicts or problems I should be aware of or can I just go ahead and put the second Textpattern installation in the /secondsite/ subfolder?

Cheers!
Simon

I should think you’d need to modify the .htaccess in domain.com/ (I don’t know what changes are needed, sorry).

Depends on the Apache setup tho. Note that with out clean url there will be no hickups nor conflicts (no htaccess conflicts nor possible file path conflicts).

Good to know! Sorry for bad info.

Just don’t create a section in your root install with the same name as the subdirectory… :)

Re: Second Textpattern installation in subfolder of domain

Thank you for the replies. I’m thinking clean URLs will work, too, as long as Apache is set up properly and I follow Els’ tip.
