A singolar need of multiple websites/languages and one eZ installation

I've read carefully the eZ documentation, some tutorials and many forum threads on the subject "multiple websites with one eZ installation", but none has given me a perfect solution for my needs:

I need two (or more) websites with different hostnames and multiple languages, eg.:

- website1_hostname/en
- website1_hostname/it

- website2_hostname/en
- website2_hostname/fr

And I want only one hostname for administrating all my websites, eg.:

- admin_hostname/website1
- admin_hostname/website2

There's a (clean) solution using a single eZ installation?

I'm using eZ 4.4.0 on a LAMP server.

Thanks for any answer that help in some way.

Yes, I've read it. But this article don't resolve completely my needs.

It seem's that the site.ini settings available for mapping hostname/URI with siteaccesses aren't enough.

Instead of using URI for language can't you use subdomain instead?

www.website1.com => goes to default language, siteaccess website1_en

fr.website1.com => french website 1, website1_fr

it.website2.com => italien website 2, website2_it

en.website2.com => english website 2, website2_en

I don't, sorry.

I want to host a lot of websites and I'm limited to only one hostname per website.

I think what you want is the MatchOrder=host_uri which was added to 4.4 so it's not really well-documented yet.

You can use something like this:

MatchOrder=host_uri

HostUriMatchMapItems[]

HostUriMatchMapItems[]=website1.tld;en;website1_en

HostUriMatchMapItems[]=website1.tld;fr;website1_fr

HostUriMatchMapItems[]=website1.tld;it;website1_it

HostUriMatchMapItems[]=website2.tld;en;website2_en

HostUriMatchMapItems[]=website2.tld;fr;website2_fr

HostUriMatchMapItems[]=website2.tld;it;website2_it
