hi,
I’m new to ezpublish, just started learning.
Could any one tell me how to separate admin interface from site interface. Idea is have two different servers, one for admin interface and another one for site interface.

Thanks in advance,

This is possible having 2 ez publish installations that share the same database:

Server A
ezpublish install with "public" siteaccess configured with DB1 (could be hosted in Server A or B, or even in a dedicated server)

Server B
ezpublich with "admin" siteaccess configured with DB1

Important is that both siteaccess use the same db to have consist content in both areas/sites.

By the way, not sure why you want to have 2 server, because of security? because of performance?

We have a client that wants 2 server (a production and test server) because of security concerns, but in this case the environment are completely separate and using different db, and because of this content is not "updated" in real time in production server.

Last, you also can check if a one server, or ezpublish cluster environment would work for you...

To have one db is easy, problem is file storage.
You have 2 solutions:
- use cluster file handler (which stores file in db)
- or place storage dir on some shared space (NAS or SAN)

Thanks you very much for quick response. We thought of separating it, because of security reason. Want to keep admin interface in intra server.

Hi,

By the way, we will setup similar concept (development server in client and production server(s) public available) in the next weeks/month.

But in our case separate db because of security (admin users and siteaccess will only be in development server) and 2 public servers - because of location (one in USA and 2nd in Europe).

I can send you more in deep information about this setup if you want (like directories to copy, database tables to copy, etc).
