CMS Made Simple Forums

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
