You'll need a database to use Wordpress. Once the database is configured, Wordpress is amazingly easy to install.
If you don't have a database, then you're SOL with Wordpress.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I'm sure someone here has Wordpress experience, it shouldn't take long.

MM, I'm pretty sure if you want a separate blog for Kerfuffle Bunny you'll need a second Wordpress installation in that directory.

I can do this all day
Okay, I can upload WP to that directory, but it won't let me run the install.php.
According to the instructions, you type in "address.com/wp-admin/install.php" in your browser and it will install the thing. But when I type in "http://www.youllallpay.com/kb/wp-admin/install.php" it gives me an error message.

That sounds like a permissions issue with the /kb folder rather than a problem with Wordpress, but I've never done a manual installation so I'm not going to be much help. (Dreamhost, bless them, has WP available as a one-click install so I don't have to know how to do anything but tweak templates.)

Sorry, I didn't read enough I was thinking this was the first Wordpress install.
I've never had two Wordpress installs on the same domain, I've used subdomains for that.

Please to clarify for Monkey Man.

Instead of "blahblah.com/monkeys" (subdirectory), use "monkeys.blahblah.com" (subdomain)
Most web hosts will give you unlimited free subdomains.

Well I don't know how your account works, but in my case I've made addresses like p://blog1.domain.com, p://blog2.domain.com with each one pointing to different directories.
I think Jessica is right though, it probably is a permissions issue.

So he could set up kb.youllallpay.com ?
