[wp-testers] Run 2 or more Wordpress trees with same db?

[Scott Pilkinton]

Yes, this works fine.  I have an existing 1.5 installation, and installed a
new 2.0 site in another website on the same box.  All I had to do is modify
the prefix in the config file like you would any other dual Wordpress,
single db installation.

1.5 site at: www.scottp.net
2.0 site at: tech.scottp.net

Is there a way to configure Wordpress to run 2 different code bases off 
the same db? Is it safe (particularly wrt schema diffs)?

Goal is that I can leave my 1.5 Wordpress up for public access, and work 
with 2.0 svn/nightly myself for test & experiments.

Horde (www.horde.org) can do this pretty well, though I don't know if 
it's officially supported.

Thanks,

Rod
