If you have two domains – domain1.net and domain2.net and the first one is the primary one. If you want to create two different sites for those domains you can easily do it by following these steps:

1. Install Drupal at the primary domain name for your account. In our case that would be domain1.net
2. Create a new MySQL database and assign an user for it. This database would be for your second site
3. Make a folder named /sites/domain2.net/ inside your main Drupal directory (public_html in most cases)
4. Copy /sites/default/default.settings.php to the new folder you have just created
5. Rename this file to /sites/domain2.net/settings.php
6. Point your domain to the same hosting account and park it through your cPanel or Plesk control panel
7. Go to http://domain2.net/install.php and follow the steps entering the details for the new database you have previously created in step 2.

That’s it, you now have multiple websites controlled by a single Drupal application.

Once you access the app, select the database Drupal is using. Then open the interface to execute SQL queries. In it enter the following query:

update users set pass=md5(‘PASSWORD’) where uid = 1;

This will set the password for your admin username to PASSWORD. You can substitute this string in the query to set a password for your own.

http://yourdomainname.com/?q=user

This page will open a login dialog that will allow you to authenticate yourself and start administring your Drupal Site.
