Hi David,
This the first time I've installed Price tapestry under its own domain/hosting account but would like to use it as a central database feeding several sites.
Previous such installations have been in shared accounts, so I've been able to save previous installations into a directory on the account for example /mystore/ which is accessible by all my required domains.
To do the same but in a separate hosting package In the config.php, can I still leave the site name blank in the title, as this will NOT be accessed directly as a website. Do I enter my domain in which the installation is located at the config_baseHREF?
$config_title = "";
$config_baseHREF = "/mydomain.com/";
I appreciate that all other feeder site will need to be on the same server which I hope will be the case with the service provider
Sorry for the numpty q's but just want to make sure I'm following the correct procedure
Thanks again
Paul
Hi Paul,
During installation; always treat it as if it is going to be a site in its own right - ultimately there must be an HTTP URL through which the site is accessible (mydomain.com) - so assuming that Price Tapestry is being installed into the top-level (root) directory of that website, $config_baseHREF would be just "/".
Then you just carry on as normal, and on your other sites (different domains on the same server) you just give the $config_database* configuration values of your main Price Tapestry installation and away you go!
In this setup, I would recommend giving HTTP authentication to the top level directory of your Price Tapestry installation (as opposed to just /admin/) which would prevent any accidental search engine coverage.
Cheers,
David.
