Title: two domains using one album folder
Post by: gos1 on March 13, 2007, 03:29:27 PM
Hi I have two domains in other languages. I want both domains to use the same albums folder which is outside the both domains. let me tell the file structure
I want /albums to be the album folder for 2 domains
two domains are located in the same server pointed with folder names same as their name.
for ex :   cem.com
               cem.org

I want both domains to use one album folder and one database

Either enter a relative path that is the same for both or use a symlink if applicable.

A symlink isn't a particular Coppermine feature, but a term to be found in the Lunix world. Find out details here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symlink
Ask your webhost for details, as regular users usually can't set up a symlink, but your webhost can.
Basic concept: you install Coppermine on both domains and then create a symlink named "albums" within the coppermine folder of one domain that points to the albums folder of the other domain.
