Title: Use webapp contribs more than once
Post by: skydivers on October 09, 2007, 10:25:48 PM

Hi,

I'm wondering, is it possible to install a webapp contrib (like wordpress from dungog or phpbb...) which got installed in opt, twice or more.

The wordpress contrib from dungog creates www.yoursite.com/wordpress for example and installs the database with users etc...
Is it possible to use the webapp a second time, to create for example www.yoursite.com/wordpress2 and another database...

Thanx for help!

For Gallery2 this is possible and should be mentioned somewhere in the forum here.

For Wordpress you would have to use the MU version (Multiusers). But then you would also have to adapt it to the SME system  - if it should run automatically. But if you create the virtual domains before (even subdomains) it may work for you.

Good luck!

additional applications have to be manual additions, sorry
I couldn't get the multiuser wordpress to work easily

For me the SME Site Maker Script (http://wiki.contribs.org/SME_Site_Maker) makes it a piece of cake to install your app in /opt. You could use snoble's WP contrib, and then manually install WP in /opt/wordpress2 using the script. The thing that I really like about the script is that you can set the alias as well, so if you installed WP in /opt/wordpress2, you can access it at mysite.com/whatever instead of mysite.com/wordpress2...

I did install WP-MU on a test server yesterday. I haven't messed with trying to get subdomains to work (blog1.mysite.com instead of mysite.com/blog1), but it seemed like everything went fine.

Thanx for the replies guys,

I'll try this on a test server as well!
