Roll out multiple sites on multiple domains

[omniat]

Hi All,

I have finally got my CMS build exactly were i want it in terms of modules, skins etc. Now i want to roll the build out to multiple domains. What is the easiest way to do this? I dont want to config every site separately.

Cheers

Is this a running CMS install you have configured, or is this a modification of the install package?

I do something similar... I have a base install directory. I add some module packages, some tags, tweak some config files. Get it the way I want. I then use a shell script to roll this out to new sites. Just supply the account name, and it creates the directories, sets the permissions, makes the database, and copies the files. I still have to visit the site and run the /install , but it really speeds things up.

I have a second script that cleans up afterwards, removing the /install dir, setting perms on config.php, and so on.

I use a modified version of the above shell script for doing upgrades. Considering I have around 70 CMSMS currently installed, having some automation is really important when it's upgrade time!

I have modified code slightly and menus & templates to get it the way i want it and all my modules congfiged the way i want them. Dont really want to repeat the process every time.

What are the scripts you are using? and are they easy to get going?

Cheers
