hi!
i want to create multiple sites with only one installation of eZ Publish and also with one database per site, but, how do i create new databases with the correct structucte of tables?
then the user and the password for connecting to the new database is the same as the default one?

thanks

The SQL schemas for new databases are placed in kernel/sql
You need to set the database username and password manually before you insert this content into the database (you do this with a GRANT ... function). For more information about this, check the installation documentation in the eZ publish distribution

thanks for all! although i had to run the sql file using phpMyAdmin (because i wasn't able using command line...) everything went right.

thanks

Hi Albert,

Have you sucefully configure multiple sites using one database for each site ?

Just trying to do the same.
See my other post at http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/setup_design/how_use_different_databases_for_different_sites_with_some_ez_instalation_

Thanks

yes i did it. look at the ez manuals here in the web, at the "install manually" section (http://ez.no/manual/install/install_manually) you can find the way to create and configure the database to have the correct structure of tables. then the only thing is to create a new siteaccess with the correct information of the database you created.

if you don't configure new domains you can access the new site by http://your_host/index.php/newsite/

hope it was helpfull, bye!

Thanks Albert,

I forgot come where to announce my sucess configuring multidatabase.

So simple like this (ezp 3.1):

- Copy settings\siteaccess\demo\ to settings\siteaccess\your_site_name\ - This creates a new dir of settings for the new site
- Copy settings\siteaccess\amin\ to settings\siteaccess\your_site_name_admin\ - This creates a new dir iof settings to admin new site
- Using myphpadmin, mysql console or other mysql manager utility copy the database created at instalation to a database with the name your_site_name. Using windows, go to mysql\data\install_database_name and do a copy&paste to create a DB copy. Rename it.
- Edit settings\siteaccess\your_site_name\site.ini.append and settings\siteaccess\your_site_name_admin\site.ini.append. Look at [DatabaseSettings] and change the settings to the new database.

- Browse http://your_domain/your_site_name/ to see the new site using the new database. http://your_domain/your_site_name_admin/ to admin the new site.

Maybe this helps someone else.
