Can I run multiple websites on same server?

Post by TJINAK »

I'm researching a solution that will allow my clients to login and edit thier websites.  I want to use one server to host multiple sites.

Can I do this with CMS made simple?

Thank you.

multiple websites on one server, yes, but you will have to install cms into different paths.  there is no multiple server support in cms at the moment.

Thank you.

I'm also curious about the shopping cart options.  I've searched the forums but I don't see a definitive yes or no CMSMS does it.

Thanks,
Tim

It is highly experimental (will drool over your dirty laundry and infect your pets with rabies) but I made a patch that does just this. you'll have to supply different tmp and cahce directories, but so far it appears to work.
search on the site here or on the forge for the patch.

I cannot find this patch, and I would also like to manage more than one site with one CMS. Different databases and different upload directories and all that would not be a problem, just that when I have 3 site and I want to upload a new module or write some new tags or even modify the source code, I want to do it once and only once. Hope I made mysqlf clear.
So is this patch of yours does this and is it still experimental?

Yes, and I even stopped working on it, as using hard (or soft?) links on unix does the trick too and has fewer issues with 3-rd party stuff. 
But if you insist, i'll attach the latest patch I can find. it was made for 0.12b, I don't expect it to apply cleanly to 1.0, but you will get the gist of it anyhow)

Okay jelle, I am trying to create a second site using links.  Some of the code gets copied and some linked.  I haven't gotten the right combination and it is not working on my site.  How have you implemented this?

I think it has to do with the dirname(__FILE__) that is getting the master copy directory name instead of the linked directory name.

TIA,
Paul
