Multiple websites with one coppermine installation?

[LittleNibble]

Hi,

I am wondering if I can use the same cpg installation to run multiple websites. This is, I want to install cpg only once im my server and run diferrent sites (each one in their own directory). Is this possible?

The aim is to build several sites (hotornot, galeries etc) with the same hosting account.

Thank you to take from your precious time to read this question.

I don't see why you can't have multiple installations on one hosting account.

Dear TranzNDance,

Thank you to take time to reply my posting.

As I just have one hosting account and one MySql database (limitation of the hosting service), I am wondering if can I run several sites (each one in it's own subdirectory, with own theme and distinct content) with cpg.

Yes, you can. You can have multiple applications use one mysql database by giving each application a different table prefix. So one gallery could be cpg1_ and the other cpg2_, etc, or whatever makes sense to you.

Ok.

So, I need to upload the whole cpg content to another directory and run install.php again, only changing the table prefix?

Thank you again.

Yup. You can re-use the db username and password and server settings but keep the prefix different.

Ok.

It is working fine.

Thank you and best regards,
