    I have 2 domains with their own wordpress installs (they're existing blogs, separate databases, etc. I'm using Arvixe hosting if it helps). I'm using domain1.com as my hive starting point.
    Hive is installed. Site still works. Added site (domain2.com -> domain2.com / d2_). Great. Clicked "install site" Not great - sent me to domain2.com's site instead of installing.

    This is my 4th attempt (all others failing and actually managed to wipe out my site once). I think I need to change my addondomain (domain2.com) to be in public_html/ instead of in its own folder (WP is installed in public_html/). I did that before and changed the prefixes in my existing database to d2_ ... and kept getting a blank page.

    I could get one blog or the other (but not both) to work.

    I LOVE this idea and I've paid the $50 for the Pro subscriptions, but I can't figure out how to make it work... What am I doing wrong? Or maybe better yet... What should I do (step by step)? In noob-speak, please. :)

    Thanks!

    UPDATE: Change where domain2.com points... installed great. I can see the site, but now the admin is 404. :) Will keep trying.

    Instead of importing database, I imported content (much easier).

    YET ANOTHER UPDATE: So, magically my missing admin page has reappeared. Now it's working fine. I think everything is up and running... I have no idea how or why, but I'm glad it is.

    So, I guess the post resolved itself. How odd.
