2 companies on one installation?

[guptajee]

Hi

Can I run 2 companies on one installation of sugarcrm. If so how.

I want to use the same machine,just 2 completeley independent companies, maybe use http://localhost/company2 as the url for the other one.

Please answer in detail, thank you

Multiple Sugar instances can peacefully coexist on the same machine--just put the installation files in separate folders i.e. /company1 and /company2. Just use separate user and database names for each installation (it defaults to "sugarcrm" as both user and database names--change those to something else).
