Installation of second Wordpress directory

[lee_sufc]

I currently have WordPress installed on a /blog directory on my site.

I'm now looking at using WooCommerce so would obviously need to use WordPress.

However, would I be able to simply install a second WordPress within a /shop directory - would this in any way interfere with the existing /blog pages?

Do your current URLs coincide with physical directories? that is:
http://example.com/blog/blahblah
=
stuff in /blog/ directory located within the overall example.com directory
And is the WP installation located inside this /blog/ directory, or is it currently in the root?

From where I'm standing, it looks like three htaccess files (assuming Apache built around mod_rewrite) -- one for the domain as a whole, one for /blog and one for /shop. Doable, but yuk.

Isn't there some WP plugin that will let you run the two functions-- blog and commerce-- out of the same WP install?

Thanks, Lucy - will have a look at the plugins and see if there is something.

You're right in that I would need 3 htaccess files...as it is, I have two (one for the "main" site, and another for the "/blog" directory.
