You can install the second OSSN instance in a new directory and create a new database for it.

Indeed can you explain suppose if we need to run 2 different OSSN on the same server how can we achieve it?

I had run into the issue when using httpd24 instead of apache2.
website.com/installation/?page=settings
See: https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/wiki/view/709/apache-mod-rewrite

I believe there was one missed step (or the wrong directory) in this SbS. www-data requires access to the data directory you create to store photos in. After creating the ossndatadir, you need to chown on it.

chown www-data:www-data -R /var/www/ossndatadir/

I had failed photo uploads until I did that, then photos worked.

Apache mod_rewrite is required for OSSN to work, so enable Apache rewrite module using:

a2enmod rewrite

Thanks for this tutorial.
Sadly I am using the free version and after some dabbling I saw that ossn doesn’t seem to detect mod_rewrite accurately, and there is no /administrator directory.
