having two installs getting confused...

[Haluk Karamete]

www.domain.com is where the main WordPress site is installed.
(we installed the main site on the web root)

then, we have a 2nd WordPress site which we installed under a directory
right under the web root, as www.domain.com/site2 -

It is obvious that this wasn't gonna work.

As the main rewrite rules dictate, www.domain.com/site2 would be
considered as part of the main install and main one will look for a page
titled "site2".

what would be the way out of this?

That should work fine with a standard Apache setup and the standard
.htaccess rules.

If you have some other rules causing things to mess up, well, that's
different. :)

We suffer here from the legacy stuff and we have to use IIS.
I am sorry that I forgot the mention the fact that this wasn't Apache.

A subfolders multisite install has this structure out-of-the-box.

Cheers,
