multiple wordpress sites on synology ds411+
I have a Synology DS411+ with my own blogsite hosted on it, that works fine, I am using no-ip to redirect.
The current install of wordpress is in the web directory.
I am using wordpress 3.5.1
I want a new site called DoverKey using wordpress to reside on the synology as well but I havnt despite reading some forum posts been able to figure out how to have another instance of wordpress installed.
I have pointed the virtual host entry to the folder Doverkey. My external infrastructure does get to the synology from outside as I get the synology page does not exist error.
help would be appreciated.

Why don't you use another name for the main Doverkey directory? I have two versions of Wordpress on IIS on XP and I just named one install directory 'Wordpress' and the other is 'wp332'.

Doverkey is the second one my personal site resides in the wordpress directory. The first was easy as wordpress essentially set itself up.
I have another site non wordpress in vehicledata dir that works too. Its how to handle another instance of wordpress I am unsure about. I read that wordpress can do this and i believe the synology version version is high enough at 3.5.1

I see 'vehicledata' directory but I do not see a 'Doverkey' directory. But that's what you show in your 'virtual hosts' image.
If you are talking about making 'multi-site' Wordpress, I've never tried that. I just have two completely separate installations.

The standard web site that works, The Doverkey dir is added after I took the first photo. Hopefully an expert will read that has a synology and done this.
I thought about just copying the wordpress directory to Doverkey but then it might get too messy.

It would take less time to do a new Wordpress install. A new site needs new 'prefixes' on it's database tables or maybe even a separate database. Copying over the existing files would also copy the config info and you would at least temporarily have two sites using the same config and database.

I dont know how to do that on the synology, if I uninstall wordpress I lose my first blog and when I reinstall I still have the issue of wanting two blogs on two different domains

Is installing a new wordpress simple as the package is already installed is there another method to install?
ASKER
ok I downloaded it and unzipped wordpress in the doverkey directory so what i will do is close this off and raise a new question about the setting up of mysql
ASKER
thank you
You're welcome. I understand your hesitation but if you pay attention and use a different database or table prefix, there won't be any conflicts.
ASKER
It worked exactly as you said it was the synology installation that confused me more when really all I had to do was download and unzip another wordpress in the directory. I have since attached the db as well and its working fine.
Glad to hear that. I'm always a little hesitant the first time I try something myself.
