I have a VPS which has a single website associated with a single IP, This website is in wordpress and it is directly placed or installed into the /html directory, which means inside /www/html/ my wordpress folders files, are placed, I mean to say its not in this form /www/html/wordpress/wp-content its in this form /www/html/wp-content

Now I am planning to have multiple sites with the same IP, in same VPS, But now I have to organize the folders for this, But how can I?

If I transfer my current scattered website files into a particular folder like www/html/site, will be there any problem?

Or can I go ahead with the same situation, just placing a new folder into /html directory for my second website?

Forgive the short answer as I am on my phone...

How are you managing the server? Via control panel or via SSH?

Moving the wordpress files physical location is non-consequential as long as the db location and site url remain the same. http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

I sugguest you create a domain_tld folder within /www/html (ie. iainlbc_com), move the contents of /www/html there, then change the virtualhost to use /www/html/domain_tld as the root directory.

  • @ianinlbc but when I ll add my new website where will it go? /www/html/new_website or /www/html/domain_tld ??? Sorry for stupid question, this is my first time, and I am doing this through SSH Feb 8, 2011 at 14:12
  • no problem ntechi - you can name it whatever you want, its arbitrary :) domain_tld is just the convention i use. for example my site iainlbc.com resides in /var/www/iainlbc_com. If you are using apache just change your DocumentRoot variable for the vhost.
