problem is having multiple WordPress installation in one database.

You must install WordPress manually in order for this to work. Most one click programs like Fantastic would not let you choose the prefix.

During the installation in your config.php phase, you want to change the prefix “wp_” in order to allow multiple installation. So it can be wpchris_ and the next one can be wpben_ you can use different prefix and use them to create as many installation as you need.
