Sorry for the late reply Shirley, my system has been trashing all comments.
There are no right and wrong ways Shirley, only ways that work and way that don’t work. If you’ve found a new method, then go with it.
When installing multiple sites I just pace each WordPress site in its own directory off the root directory.
This method works fine if you want individual control over each site, not so good if you want a particular theme to globally effect all sites.

Hi Phil
nearly six months on back to square one with the instructions you’ve kindly provided. I can install 1 site but when I try to add another I get a wordress error. If I just create a new database and create a new config file in wordpress with user as “root” an no password im fine I can create multiple sites. Is there a problem with this approach as it seems to work. What’s the advantage in doing it your way.

Hi Phil
after using your tutorial for months to add sites to wamp I had to download wamp again after it crashed I find I can no longer use your instructions with the latest version of wamp and wp3 it just doesnt work no matter how many times I’ve tried.
