I've never had two Wordpress installs on the same domain, I've used subdomains for that.
Please to clarify for Monkey Man.
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
So he could set up kb.youllallpay.com ?

That's the idea, I think it simplifies things but that's just personal preference. Doesn't solve the problem if there is a permissions issue though. I don't know if Wordpress has a problem being in a subdirectory of another Wordpress install, never tried it.

No, I don't think it's permissions.
I'm making some progress. I copied the 'DB_NAME', 'DB_USER' and 'DB_PASSWORD' from the other wp-config.php. Now the error I'm getting when I do "www.youllallpay.com/kb/wp-admin/install.php" is:
You appear to have already installed WordPress. To reinstall please clear your old database tables first.
Which tells me that, duh, it doesn't want to overwrite the database I pointed it to. Which is nifty.
So, obviously, I need a second database that I can point the second installation of WP to. Right?
So, how do I make a database?

Totally depends on your setup.
Do you have access to a command line shell for your account?

Hang on, is there a "table prefix" setting or something like that?

Yes, yes there is!

Yes there is!
Change the prefix from 'wp_' to 'kb_' (or whatever) and try again.
