    2 Sites on Same Server

    Posted 16 years 7 months ago
    • If I want to run two Joomla sites on the one (my own ) server, do I need to have two different Database Prefixes?

      To explain further...

      I have my own unix server (Apple).
      Two websites... red.example.com and blue.example.com, with their own home folders... /Library/WebServer/red & /Library/WebServer/blue.

      So... should I have the Database Prefix for one of them changed away from default jos_ ?
      If so, should I do this at initial configuration or can I just change one of them afterwards in the administration Database Settings?

      Thanks!

    • I would create two separate db's instead of changing the prefixes. This will give a lot less headache in the event you run into any issues, db corruption, etc.

    • Thanks for reply. Excuse my next newbie question... how does one make two databases? I presume this is a mysql server config and not something one does in Joomla? If so, I guess that's the next thing for me to start reading up on :-)

      The reason for the two websites was just so that I had a parallel one running with the stock template content, for comparison purposes whilst learning my way. So if I stick with just the one db just now, I presume I DO need to change the prefix?

    • yes, one db means you'll want to change the prefix. to set up another db, you'll need to do that through your web host control panel via mysql.
