Agree with Tim - we do it in a Windows environment using separate sub
directory with appropriate tables and data storage areas for example:-
www.yoururl.ac.uk for your main Moodle
www.yoururl.ac.uk/moodle2name
for your second and we actually have a third using the same
www.yoururl.ac.uk/Moodle3name
At upgrade time we then run the upgrade three times so that each set of
tables is updated.
We set it up by making a single install and then copying the entire
directory structure into a newly created sub directory and then deleting the
config file to force new tables to be created etc.
Bye for now,

Not sure who the original poster of the comment was, but we host multiple
Moodles on a single server for various outreach projects. There really is
nothing to it, we use a seperate virtual host on apache for each Moodle
instance, but even that isn't necessary. As long as each instance of
Moodle is located in it's own seperate sub directory and points
at a seperate set of database tables, that's all that is necessary.
