Multiple CMSMS on one server?

Help with getting the CMS CORE package up and running. This does not include 3rd party modules, PHP scripts, anything downloaded via module manager or from any external source.

Multiple CMSMS on one server?

Post by eljefe25 »

Hello everyone!

Was hoping someone could answer this question.

Is it possible to have multiple CMSMS on a server but under different folders?

like if i have a site called bobsstudio.com

and then a folder at projects.bobsstudio.com/newproject/
Could i have a CMSMS installed there and then another at say:
projects.bobsstudio.com/oldproject/

Thanks in advance!

Yes, it's common practice to have multiple installs of CMSMS under one domain. Though, you probably should use a separate database for each install if you can. Otherwise you will need to give each install a separate database prefix.

Excellent! So, I would assume when I install CMSMS to one f the folders, I would just create a new database each time that is housed in the same folder, or is there some trick to it?

Mayeb there is a 'how to' for multiple installations for a single domain on here somewhere I mised?

Thanks!

Hi,

You can install CMSMS in any subdirectory you like, even on a shared host.
The databases are not in the subdirectories but part of Mysql, they remain usualy in "/var/lib/mysql" under linux.

You have the choice of making a new database for each CMSMS install of give a different prefix for the tables that belong to a certain install. I would prefer a new database.
The databases you will most likely run through a tool from your hoster like cpanel or with PHPmyadmin.

I hope this makes it clear to you.

Kind regards,
Jan
