Trying to recall exactly what I had to do, because I thought the Joomla installer allows you to drop all existing tables, but I remember there were places where it complained about something already existing. What I ended up doing was some behind the scenes manual deletion, then running the installer on the next domain but using the same settings. A quick check of the config files and all the sites, each with their own config files, were running off a single database. After that it was just a matter of templating the sites (you would never imagine they were in any way related the templates were so different) and of course creating separate block I mean module definitions for each domain. I'd welcome the opportunity to do another install like that again, seemed like I was having to just push what Joomla is set up to do just enough that I had to do some work-a-rounds, but not enough I had to violate the core. cheers, Forest Mars -- "In theory, theory and practice are exactly the same.
