I realise that each site must have its individual database set-up but what else?

I truly appreciate any help on this question.

I would suggest to use separate var directories. To do this set the VarDir setting in [FileSettings] in the site.ini.append file for the current site access and point this variable to the new var directory for each site.
Everything else can be shared.

Thanks, Jan!

We had a power outtage for 14 hours so I couldn't say my thanks sooner ;-)

would this look like so?

in

settings/siteaccess/testsite/site.ini.append

[FileSettings]
VarDir=testsite/var
StorageDir=testsite/storage
CacheDir=testsite/cache

Jan? No, this is Jo Henrik :)

The StorageDir and CacheDir variables should be relative to the var directory, so the only variable you should change is the VarDir. If this is set to testsite/var then StorageDir is automaticly set to testsite/var/storage.

I hope this works out for you

Sorry I mixed up your name, Jo!

And "separate" is the correct spelling.

Hi Hussain.

No I haven't got this to work yet.

Good thing I'm stubborn because this is not "ez" to install ;-)

I'm still trying to set up a separate site with its own admin and user and a separate database sharing one eZpublish installation

I 'm still testing to be sure I haven't missed something simple. I'll be back with more questions very soon!

I sure wish there was a step by step recipe I could follow for this ...

So, how you setup a individual database for each site ?
Tha separation of files anda templates is easy, but cant understand how setup multiple databases with one EZ install.

See my other question post at http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/setup_design/how_use_different_databases_for_different_sites_with_some_ez_instalation_

To setup an individual database for each site you need to put the database information in siteaccess/site_name/site.ini.append. There should be no database information in override/site.ini.append.php
