Multiple wordpress installations on same server

Question

Your .htaccess file needs to be updated as follows (change the obvious parts for site3):

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /site2/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /site2/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

I was having similar issues and saw that whenever I would log in and simply view the permalink settings, the page would work. I later saw that this action is what corrected the .htaccess file.

@jdm2112, I’ve managed multiple sites without the need for the multisite. I didn’t want to consolidate all my data into a single database.
