    Hi, I have a domain name, ill call it mysite.com for this question.
    i have wordpress installed in the root directory, mysite.com
    i also have another copy of wordpress installed in mysite.com/members
    everything works fine, no problems.. cant complain :)
    until i go to cpanel and put a password on mysite.com/members

    now /members is password protected. , i access mysite.com and still everything is fine.
    now i try to access mysite.com/members expecting to be prompt with a user and pass login window..
    but instead i am brought to my root domain. mysite.com/ and i see a wordpress themes page not found error.

    so my 2 cents is, my copy of wordpress in my root. mysite.com is thinking i am trying to access a wordpress page called /members which i normally wouuld have created through the add new page thing through the admin panel, but sense that doesnt exist i get this error….

    could someone figure this out? and try to tell me what to do?
    thanks!

    Why do you need 2 wordpress installations anyway? Perhaps this is easier to accomplish with just 1 install.
    Or perhaps disabling your permalinks in the wordpress installation that is in the root folder. That way, if I’m right, that wordpress install won’t see /members as a new wordpress page, and your server should handle it as if its a subdirectory. Not sure about it though

    Thats a difficult issue. Perhaps WordPress mu can help you with this: http://mu.wordpress.org/
