2,648 PointsHow to install a second site via WAMP?
Hi! I would like to run a second development site. In the browser on localhost I now can choose which folder to go to- but what do I need to configure so that I get a second drupal installation? I have followed the course installation process so far.

2,648 PointsThanks Kevin! I did as you said. The trick is not to copy the site you already have installed, but to take a fresh download of drupal- then the installation process is initiated.

I'm not familiar with drupal, but I have multiple wordpress installs set up this exact way, all with their own database and it works just fine. Same principal not matter if it's drupal, wordpress, or custom, you just have to connect your new database in phpmyadmin to drupal the way drupal wants it done, just like you did for your first site.

Than in your browser the url becomes localhost/new_folder where new_folder would be the name of the folder.
Hope that helps you.
