    Hmmm - not sure if that text saved. Here tis again...

    WP-Hive sounds like a great solution - I have several sites with different domains and WPH sounds like it would be perfect for me. However I need some further clarification on using it with Wordpress installs in subdirectories.

    My main blog is at bookbee.com.au (and the wordpress install is in the directory /wordpress2_9_1)

    I tried to install WPH but must have got the settings wrong. I broke my site – No known host error – and had to reload the database and reinstall wordpress. OK – that was mistake 1.

    Mistake 2 was to reinstall wordpress in a different subdirectory (just /wordpress) I thought it would give me a fresh start. Wrong! Nothing worked and I moved it back to the original directory (/wordpress2_9_1)

    Now when I install WPH I get the “no known host” error again, so obviously it’s looking for wordpress in the non-existent /wordpress directory.

    Can you tell me which scripts/files may still contain the old directory path?

    Also, what are the correct settings for my situation?

    Wordpress in http://www.bookbee.com.au/wordpress2_9_1 and I’d like to add databases for http://www.bookbee.net and book-bee.co.uk.

    A couple of things to note.

    1. Please don't install WordPress in a subdirectory. It is best to install it in the root of the website.

    2. To remove the old settings for previously installed WP Hive sites, just remove the wphive_hosts and wphive_config tables from the database.
