multi-host support

31 July 2007 at 10:05am

I noticed that _config.php sets a project variable.
In support of consolidated code does silverstripe
support multiple projects at the same time.
If so how would you configure it? If possible
I'd like to use a virtual host server to host
multiple domain-names. Normally I would
put a copy of silverstripe in each doc_home
but from the way _config.php sets the project
I'm wondering if there is a way to bypass the
multiple copies of silverstripe.

There is current no way to do this currently (to my knowledge).

The project variable lets you change the name of the 'mysite' folder to something else. In our internal development environment, we have each sites project-specific folder named differently.
If you're wanting to do code-consolidation, the best bet is to experiment with symbolic links.
* Move the sapphire, cms and jsparty folders to some common place.
* Add symlinks for them in each of your projects.

Hi,
For developing i'm also working with symbolic links. But i got a problem with the "assets" Folder. In the Media Manager it tries to get to the folder relativ (../assets), and start looking in the common source folder for the image. finally it ends up in a fatal error, that it couldn't find the file. Is it importent that it looks for the file relativ, or could it be changed in an absolute path? Or is there a better way to fix that?
thanks,
webair

Does anybody has a patch for this problem? I'm willing to run 100+ SilverStripe sites on a server and need symbolic links for space and performance (caching!) efficiency.

I achieved this with sub-domains. Change your _config.php to do the following:
if (isset($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'])) {
   $servername = $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
   $domainpart = explode(".", $servername, 2);
   $database = $domainpart[0];
} else {
   die('..or you can configure to redirect to a default location.');
}

and then change the database accordingly:
global $databaseConfig;
$databaseConfig = array(
   "type" => "MySQLDatabase",
   "server" => "localhost",
   "username" => "username",
   "password" => "password",
   "database" => $database,
);

But the fact remains that you can't use multiple paths for the assets folder depending on the sub-domain, or at least I could not figure that out. If there is a function like Filesystem::setAssetsPath() please let me know.
Cheers.
