how to install magento for 2 domain

[tonysar]

Hello. 

what is the proper way of installing magento so two domain can share single instance of magento ? do i have to create two folders under my main domain and install magento in subfolder or do you recommend installing in different way. 

Thanks.

Do you want to use multi-store of Magento?

yes. i need 2 store with 2 domain using single magento install . 

currently , I installed magento on main domain root directory . and added a folder to hold configuration file for  second store/domain . 

but im not sure if this is optimal way to go .. ??

Can someone please tell me how to configure magento for two domain ? i keep reading but yet can not figure files that need to be altered ( index.php?) my index.php is not the same or am i looking at the wrong index.php. ? 

I have parked second domain on my host . but yet this domain by default redirects to root directory of my main domain installation . do  i have to redirect this park domain to a subdirectory ? 

thanks.
