I think you would have to do multiple installations for each domain name. This would be due to the $baseurl setting needing to be different. I could be wrong though so let's see if someone with direct experience comes along and explains how it can be done.

Maybe what I am to say is plain stupid, but I was wondering if it is possible to copy the whole Blogs folder from one domain to another, create a new database for it and edit the config file? Any idea if this could work? Or am I talking sheer nonsense?

Thanks a lot.

Yes - that would work. It is, effectively, the same as a new installation for each domain. With your method any customization you've done will also exist in the new place, so that would probably be a good thing.

BTW one thing you can share across installations is the database. There is a variable in conf/_basic_config.php that allows you to set the table prefix. By changing that to something unique per installation you can use the same database multiple times. This would work only if the second installation can access the first installation's database.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Question about databases, what would be a wiser, safer, practical thing to do, better to create one db for each customer/domain, or just get the big one modifying the table variable for each customer? What would you do?

Thanks again!

Customers? Completely isolated installations. Domains? My own domains? I've also done it with unique installations because my host doesn't really mind the number of MySQL databases I have. The only time I've put multiple installations in a single database is when I want to have test installations to compare how different versions handle different features.

Ok, that's how I felt inclined to do. Domains I mean each of customers domains, so best refer to them just as customers. My Server charges me a fee for each extra MySQL thingy, but I am soon migrating to another plan which allows unlimited DB so no problem there. Thanks a lot. I will try th whole thing in andother of my domains and see how it goes. Thanks again.
