One CMS multiple web sites

Post by alex.barylski »

Any CMS out there support that?

How does it work?

Most CMS's to my knowledge use a single entry script index.php and pull everything from DB...

How do you then support sub-domains or seperate domains altogather?

Do you install Mambo, etc in a root directory accessable via some IP and have seperate index.php's in each sub-folder mapped to a domain/sub-domain???

Do you use a seperate installation for each directory - as would be required by some CMS's

How do you solve this problem?

lifetype.org

it's not a cms but allows the users to have thier own blogs.

and a user gets a blog like this
http://winnysunny.oioblogger.com/

i suppose every time you show a webpage
you need to pass the user id or username with GET or POST

If the nature of the websites are related then I don't see a problem using one CMS to manage multiple websites. If they were entirely different topics, then it would be possible, just require a bit more work;; perhaps combining several CMS into one.

A few do, depends on the degree of separation between the core code and the actual content to be displayed and managed. Reusing the same core (and updating one such core not 2/3/4/...) is a nice advantage to such CMS's.

Thats why I want to find a CMS which allows hosting multiple sites...so I only have to update one application and it's reflected across all sites
