I am new to joomla. I joined the template club and was working on my local host to build my site using the Replicant template. Everything was going great - I had a lot of the site completed (many categories and sections) and was almost ready to up-load the site. I wanted to start my second site, so I downloaded a new copy of joomla, renamed that to my new site using the chromatophore template. I created one section on my second site and now that section is the only thing that shows up on both sites? What happened to all of the content I wrote for my first site? and why is content from my second site showing up on my first site?
Are you only able to work on one site at a time locally?
Can anyone tell me where I can find the pages that I created for my first site where are the sections content and categories content stored?
I have lost all of my work by trying to be able to work on two web sites at one time locally?
Please help me!
Thanks,
Dawn

Hi Dawn,
You can work with many sites on localhost.
Have you copied the site correctly?
You can use JoomlaPack to copy site

Dawn,
You don't mention creating a second database for the second install.
If you installed the second copy of Joomla over the first, i.e., into the first DB, you may have overwritten the DB for the first site.
Did you receive any error messages or warnings?
Anyway, to answer your second question, check the screen shots in reply #7 of this thread:

You can literally run 100s of sites on a local host, provided of course, each has its own DB. - Last Edit: 16 years 6 months ago by JEM.

- Thank you so much- I did not create a separate data base for the new site- How do I do that? I am using the free version of MAMP.

If you didn't create a second DB before doing a second Joomla install, you may well have overwritten you old DB. :-\
Good luck Dawn. - The member formerly known as Roland Deschain
After your question is solved, please Edit your original post and choose the Solved message icon, thank you!

They're basic but you should be able to see how an additional DBs are created. - Thanks,
