hello

I am wondering whether is this possible?

Well, what I want to do is to host 5 Mambo in 5 Subdomains. Basically I was thinking to install one Mambo first, say in subdomain "MAMBO_ONE" and setup the basic frame work including all the features that I want. After that, I just want to COPY and PASTE the Mambo in subdomain "MAMBO_ONE" into other subdomains, eg: "MAMBO_TWO", "MAMBO_THREE" etc... Is this is possible? If this is possible is there any things that I should be aware off?

Thank you in advance

Never done it, but I'm sure it could be done by editing the config files when you move it to another subdomain. Actually.. I think you would have to do each manually because of the database setup. You'd need a seperate database for each one. Hmm, I'm thinking of ways to do it.

Very least would be to copy the database once you get it right on the first. Then duplicate the files and put them into the respective subdomains. After edit the config settings to the new subdomain and path. Make sure you give each a unique database (or they'll be sharing one..) and then in each of the database you create, just paste in the queries and it should restore them.

This depends on whether or not it stores the paths in the database or a config file. Hope this helped somewhat.

You could just use scripta to install them all then create the one you want how you want it. Then change the files that need to be changed and upload them all to the different places then change the databases. Just do everything with one install then save the database then reupload it and rename it or something like that. Not exactly sure how but it shouldn't be too hard.

step 1 -
make 5 databases and assign 5 users

step 2 -
Install and configure the first mambo.

Step 3 -
Copy the mambo to the second 'subdomain'.

Step 4 -
Edit the configuration.php file to specify the database, user, password, absolute path and livesite.

Repeat steps 2-4 until you have all your sites.

Step 5 - copy the database from the first site to all the others. This will give you the same admin user for all, and make sure you have all the proper db tables, etc. You can do this using PHPMyAdmin - 'backup' the database, then 'restore' it to the other db-s.

Well, you could install 5 different Mambo sites by copying/pasting -- but then you'd have 5 different admins and 5 different sites running on 5 different databases. If you want to share all 5 sites in one database with just one admin that controls all of your mambo sites, then go here my friend:

I haven't tried this yet -- but I will, because I am currently developing 50 Mambo sites that will all share the same database. This method will completely cut my workload down by a lot! Hope this was helpful.
