Multiple Installations

Submitted by Diana on Wed, 2008-10-29 04:21 in

Hi again David.
I am using 1 database.
I have added several sub installations to a site, by simply copying the original folders in the root, and editing the config.php, .htaccess RewriteBase /subname/
In otherwords, not uploading the original files and going thru the setup each time. The reason was to avoid editing each individual file that may have had changes made.

I am directing to 1 root header, footer, css for all.

So my question is simply, is that ok? Is there something that happens during setup that would get missed by just moving a copy of the folders and files into a subdirectory? It seems to work fine, except that in each admin, the feeds in the root admin show up with a column that says De-Register. I assume if I De-Register, it will remove them from the root directory, so I have just left them alone.

If I am using one database, can I remove the feed files from the other admins, or just ignore them?

Thanks, Diana

Hi Diana,

I think this is related to the last question - you will need a separate "database" for each installation. This can be either a completely separate database - in other words $config_databaseName is different for each one, or you can have the same database and just use a different $config_databaseTablePrefix...

Cheers,
David.
