2 sites using the same db

[millzee]

hi,

i need to have 2 sites on the same server (in separate folders) and 1 db.

to accomodate this, i've created 2 new fields in the cms_config_custom: so i have

server path = /dir1/
cookie path = /dir1/

server path2 = /dir2/
cookie path2 = /dir2/

what i'm trying to figure out is where can i change the settings within the site located in dir2 folder to pull the values from path2 instead of path.

I have looked at the admin/modules/settings.php

$sections = array(
array('global' => array('sitename', 'site_logo', 'slogan', 'startdate', 'adminmail', 'crumb', 'admin_help', 'update_monitor', 'GoogleTap', 'block_frames', 'Default_Theme'),
'server' => array('domain', 'path')),
array('global' => array('maintenance', 'maintenance_text')),
array('cookie' => array('server', 'domain', 'path', 'admin', 'member')),
array('global' => array('foot1', 'foot2', 'foot3')),
array('global' => array('backend_title', 'backend_language')),
array('global' => array('commentlimit', 'pollcomm', 'moderate')),
array('global' => array('CensorMode', 'CensorReplace')),
array('email' => array('allow_html_email', 'smtp_on', 'smtphost', 'smtp_auth', 'smtp_uname', 'smtp_pass')),
array('debug' => array('database', 'session')),
array('global' => array('banners', 'httpref', 'httprefmax', 'top'))
);

and changed the path to path2, unfortunately this doesnt resolve the problems i am experiencing.

site 1 works fine, site 2 keeps going over to site 1. I need to keep them seperate, but maintain 1 db.

any ideas?

mmm have you tried to install DF on each folder just using a different database prefix (in that way you can share the db but not the tables... ).

thanks for the prompt reply greenday2k, unfortunately i need to share data in the tables as well between the 2 sites.

The proper way:

Admin -> Main Settings -> Cookies:
SERVER_NAME as Cookie Domain: No
else Cookie domain: leave it empty

If this isn't what you want or for some reason it doesn't work each site needs to be within its own fully qualified domain name.

example.com AND subdomain.example.com
OR
sub1.example.com AND sub2.example.com
OR
www1.example.com AND www2.example.com
etc etc

Use the above cookie settings for this kind of configuration but change cookie path from "path/" TO "/".

The other way:
To hard code your modifications into DragonflyCMS look in cmsinit.inc around line 110-130.

nano that works.

I have just done with two different sites, and they seem to work fine.
