Hi Drupal community,

I've created an intranet site for a company last year. Now they want another intranet site next to the existing one. They don't want it on the same drupal installation because they want to keep the user management clean etcetera.

So my idea is to create a new database for the new installation and put the new installation in a other folder than the existing one. Though i'm still scared something can go wrong... And there is no room for error because the existing intranet may not go down because it has business critical information!

Do you know/think it would give any problems to the existing intranet site if i install the new one like i described?

Hope i'm clear enough :)!!

Thanks in advance!

If you've decided to maintain separate DB's .... then you should be OK. You can leverage a common code base and known working configuration, This should not be a problem. There is no need to double up on Drupal code base .. just ensure you're using totally separate DB's to ensure you aren't messing with an existing site.
