two pixelpost galleries?

[YZdirtrider13]

i am looking to have my homepage as my photoblog (as it is now)

but have a link to another pixelpost setup as my gallery of other work. (configured more as a list of thumbnails on left, then the main/selected image in the center)
but i will worry about that later.

right now i need to know how to set up that second pixelpost and link to it on my photoblog page

sorry if this is a noob question :confused:

my site is www.capturedcontrast.net in case you just want to take a look, but im using one of the default templates.

thanks for your help in advance!

This is very simple

Create a subfolder in the root directory of your webhost.
For example, create a folder called gallery.

Now, follow the directions that come with pixelpost and upload all the pixelpost files to the newly created gallery folder.

Edit gallery/includes/pixelpost.php and enter the same DB information as your current root installation but change the prefix to something other than what you currently have set.

So if your main pixelpost site has a prefix of
$pixelpost_db_prefix = "pixelpost_";
you would want something like this for your gallery pixelpost,
$pixelpost_db_prefix = "pixelpost_gallery_";

Now just point your browser to http://yourwebsite.com/gallery/admin/install.php and follow the steps.

That's all there is to it.

Your new admin login will be http://yourwebsite.com/gallery/admin/ and to link to your new install just use http://yourwebsite.com/gallery/ as your URL.

hmm. i think i did everything the same as the first time

i have the folder www.mysite.com/gallery with all the pixelpost stuff in it...

and when i go to that url it says not found

:confused:

capitalized the gallery folder, and therefore the url was wrong

thanks for your help!
