Separate Wordpress Installations
Hello. I am trying to install a second WordPress installation on the appliance. I do not want to run multisites, I want to host more than one WordPress site with a separate directory and database. I have successfully set this up on other linux servers, however I am having a difficult time with this appliance, I am assuming because I am not so familiar with Debian.
I have read many instructions about setting up the separate NameVirtualHost file for each site in the Sites-Available folder, and running the a2ensite command for each, but no matter what I try, I always get URL not found. Very frustrating. Ideally I would like to import an already existing site, however I would be happy to just be able to get two basic sites installed and functional, and then worry about importing the other data and xml. I have read quite a few posts about creating a multisite setup, but have not had much success finding instructions for setting up multiple separate sites. Can anyone provide some direction for me? Thank you.

Hello?
Reply 1No reason... Just luck of the draw...
Reply 2Speaking of reasons, If you are using domain names, why would you not just set up a multisite? I don't see the point of having multiple installs of WP on the same server... I see the point of having 2 sites running on completely different servers, but if you're running 2 sites under one instance of Apache then why not just use a multisite setup? Perhaps you have a good reason, but from my perspective I would think that it is a middle ground that doesn't really provide the best of anything...
Anyway. I imagine that it should be possible... But I have no idea how you'd go about it.
Perhaps it's a stupid suggestion but do you have DNS set up (or edited hosts file) to point to your server? Also di you restart Apache after creating your sites?
Anyone home? Is this such a stupid question that it's not worth answering?
