@Pappy: You have to do a “Domain Redirect”. Google the term, you would get loads of info.
Happy blogging.

@Pappy… nopes, they will be totally two different blogs (as if you had used two different databases)…

Thanks for your reply.

Will the existing categories and articles on the old site automatically be displayed on the new sites or will I have to create the categories manually?

Will any new articles posted to one site automatically show up on all my sites using the same DB?

Thanks,

pappy

Hi Pappy,

Use the same db_name, db_user, db_password, etc… the only thing you should change for the new blog is the prefix.

The original site should stay the same (you don’t need to change anything in that).

Let me know if you need more help on this.

Cheers.

I have a wordpress 2.5.1 site with an existing
database of articles. When I set up additional sites
to use the existing DB of articles, will I need to
use the same ‘DB_NAME’, ‘DB_USER’ and ‘DB_PASSWORD’
in each wp-config.php file?
When I give each new site a different table prefix,
will I also have to give the original site a prefix?
Will this make me loose my original DB?
Will I have to start with all new blogs before I
add any articles to get them to all work with the
same DB?

I’m new to all this and would appreciate any help.

Thanks, pappy

@kolio - you have to have a wp-config.php file, if you have freshly downloaded the wordpress installer, then this file is called wp-config-sample.php and you need to rename it to wp-config.php.

Refer to the installation steps defined on wordpress.org.
