Is there any update to this if using 2.4 r2?
I am considering this for my clients and possibly the following setup.

All admin done via one domain "myclientadmin.com"
I think I can program the ability to redirect a client to the "myclientadmin.com" if they try to come into admin via "myclient1.com/admin"
All images and files are hosted on Amazon s3 so that probably would mean not changing the image file.
But how do I handle different modules for different clients?

Any suggestions where to start here?

created folder and copied files, created symlink as suggested from Juanitou. Now I stuck with the BASE_PATH. Where do I have to correct it? And what is it supposed to say?

Have an "application"-folder "silverstripe" in the root of my testserver with subfolder cms and sapphire. have a "website"-folder ss_one for the first site (will have folder ss_two etc. for other websites) and in this I have the symlinks to cms and sapphire and subfolder assets, mysite and themes.

when I try to open the site I get the error:

$project isn't set in /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/silverstripe/sapphire/core/ManifestBuilder.php on line 259

and I see the typical error site, with "Cannot modify header information...".

Does this error come from the information BASE_path or is there another problem? Thanks for any help :-)

bye - nina

It's a little different in 2.4. The BASE_PATH constant is not calculated the same way. The fix is to create an index.php file in your site root:

<?php

define('BASE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__));
include ('sapphire/main.php');

?>

And update your .htaccess file to point to that instead of sapphire/main.php.

There's a better way. Use _ss_environment.php to your advantage.

In your SilverStripe 2.4 base folder, create a file called _ss_environment.php and put the following line in it:

define('BASE_PATH', rtrim(dirname(dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])), DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR));

Of course you are free to also add DB information that all your installations share, as described on the doc page above.

Then simply put the following line into mysite/config.php

require_once('conf/ConfigureFromEnv.php');

That's all. Works a charm here... here's how my file-structure of a typical site looks like:

BaseInstall2.4.1 (silverstripe codebase)
	+- sapphire
	+- cms
	+- googlesitemaps
	+- dataobject_manager
	+- swfupload
	+- _ss_environment.php (as described above)
SomeSite (all website folders are structured like this)
	+- sapphire (symlinked to BaseInstall2.4.1/sapphire)
	+- cms (symlinked to BaseInstall2.4.1/cms)
	+- googlesitemaps (symlinked to BaseInstall2.4.1/googlesitemaps)
	+- dataobject_manager (symlinked to BaseInstall2.4.1/dataobject_manager)
	+- swfupload (symlinked to BaseInstall2.4.1/swfupload)
	+- assets own asset folder for each site
	+- mysite own mysite folder for each site
		+- _config.php as described above

So all websites are structured like SomeSite and have only a custom assets and mysite folder, but otherwise share the same codebase.

@dospuntocero: Uploading should work fine. Never had problems with it (I always use a separate assets folder for each install and set it's permission bits to 0777).
