    I want to start a directory. I already uploaded all the files - just need to press install.php :D

    But on the same webhost I have wordpress blog working.
    And the webhosting company is allowing only 1 MYsql database which I alloted for wordpress blog.

    Now how can I create another database for the directory ?:(
    Can I create a new user and add to the wordpress database name ?:rolleyes:

    Use the same database but try to put something before the table names your installation will create.

    For example. Let's say the install.php is trying to create those tables:

    table1
    table2
    table3

    then, use

    dir_table1
    dir_table2
    dir_table3

    Usually, you may set it from the install.php user interface. So, you don't need a new database. Just use the same database (same user/pass) and add a prefix for the new tables.

    In order to avoid any problems, please backup your actual database first.

    Hope this helps.

    BTW: when ready, feel free to submit your site to free web directory.us

    How to prefix those tables ?
    Can adding a new user to the existing database and then using it for directory will help without problems ?
