I want two WordPress installs - 1 x main domain and 1 x sub domain
Ok, so I currently run a WordPress blog on my own domain and hosting.
All of the current WordPress files are located in the root - as like most normal installations.
I now want to create a brand new WordPress site on a sub-domain.
I have created the sub-domain, uploaded the wordpress files to that sub-domains directory & and also created the database & user that will be using this new WordPress install.
So, I have now navigated to my subdomain URL, and WordPress has told me that I need to create a wp-config file.
So I fill in the boxes and do that.
It accepts my details and it can communicate with my database, It now tells me that I should run the "install"
I click on "RUN THE INSTALL", and I then get this error message.
Why am I getting this?? I can't seem to get round it :-(
Other than this, is there an easier way of doing the task that I want??
Thanks
----- EDIT -----
ok.... I thought I would try something.
Moving the files out of the standard WordPress directory, and into the root of the sub-domain directory (if that makes sense).
I went through the installation again, and I got to the "RUN THE INSTALL" part.
I now have a new error - I presume this is a step forward.
I suspect that I may need some sort of special htaccess file?? But I'm unsure about that.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks

I tried that viruz99, Unfortunately that didn't solve the "forbidden" problem.
But now I have the redirection problem.

I have tried multiple CHMOD's, none of them have resolved the issue.

No htaccess files exist in the subdomain folder.
I don't know ANYTHING about htaccess files or how they should be written, I think this might be where the problem is. Perhaps the htaccess file would stop the redirection error that I'm getting if it was properly written.
------EDIT------
Ok, I have found the problem.
It is my original wordpress installation in the root of my file manager. - so it's either a permalinks or htaccess problem on the original blog.
I moved all the original wordpress files away from the root (wp-admin / wp-config etc etc) and I was able to access my sub domains installation straight away.
So that is where the problem is.
So how on earth do I permanently move my original wordpress install??
I'll draw a diagram of what it looks like now, and what I want it to look like.
--------EDIT 2---------
I fixed the problem, I have finally installed wordpress on my sub-domain.
I have just one more problem.
http://xxx.releasethread.com <----- This is what I have set up.
But when you navigate to that address, it redirects you to:
http://xxx.releasethread.com/wp-admin/install.php/ <-------- ???
The homepage shows as normal, and you can change it to something random like
http://xxx.releasethread.com/g893tho93qh89fq9
How do I get rid of that?? I just want it to be http://xxx.releasethread.com
Could I edit the htaccess file to make this correct ??
Thanks.
-------EDIT 3------
I FIXED EVERYTHING.
Thanks for your time anyway
