multiple wordpress issue

woopwoop · Dec 30, 2009

Anyone know why this might be happening:

I have a shared hosting with 2 addon domains.
I've set up 2 databases, different names, pretty much same structure and content.
I changed the WP config files with the separate db/user/pass combos

But

When I login to one and make a change it affects them both!!
Also I notice that when I log into one of the WP admin, even though the domain in the address bar is correct, it shows the other installations blog name as the page title...

Really weird.

I bet its to do with the ABSPATH being called for the addon domain being the same as the actual main accounts domain. IE both ABSPATH will be /home/USER/public_html.
So the addon one will be pulling the config file from the proper domain.

Whats the directory structure?

Thanks for the reply Jimm

the abs path does seem to be the issue, not sure of all the instances that it is specified, after install.

my addon domains have paths like:
/home/USER/public_html/domain2.co.uk
/home/USER/public_html/domain1.co.uk

I haven't had any issues with the addons like this in the past.
I'll give it another shot tomorrow - I think that there's a lot of issues with clearing the cahces (browser/ftp software/mysql client) while I'm editing so many files - will see tomorrow !

Thanks again.
