Hi,

I am experiencing troubles with XAMPP when I try and run two of the same Joomla websites. I have them both in different folders in htdocs, but when I edit one, it edits the other one too and messes it up. Why should this be happening?

I tired deleting my cache and it did not make any difference -> the latest Joomla installation was always the one that worked best and the previous one would the stop working?

My ideas are:
[list=]Install xampplite on different hard drives and install each similar Joomla website there.[/list]
[list=]Work one at a time (VERY inconvenient)[/list]
[list=]Find out if there is an issue with the MYSQL database[/list]


Your support is most appreciated.

I hope you used two different Databases during the joomla installations or at least a different prefix! Otherwise you need to reinstall one joomla, using another database.

Hi,

Yes, when installing joomla I used:

localhost
root
//No password
database name: some random letters.

Is this correct or should I set up the mysql databases with XAMPP somewhere first?

Did you use the same settings (including the random letters) for BOTH Installations?

Could you please log into phpMyAdmin (http://localhost/phpMyAdmin) and select the SQL Tab and execute this command:

Code: Select all

SHOW DATABASES;

Then post the output here.

Sorry, but that link you gave me gives an error 404.

XAMPP IS working because I can access http://localhost/xampp/ without any problems. What do you suggest I do?

Hi,

I found the link you were referring to through XAMPP localhost home. Yest is shows lots of different databases (23).

Sorry, didn't have an original XAMPP up and running, so could not post the right link. Would be http://localhost/phpmyadmin

Could you please post the result of the SQL Command I posted.
