I know that it's possible to run more than one web site on one Umbraco installation. But if I understand it right, the macros are shared between all sites. Is it possible to have multi Umbraco installations on one computer, so each web site has it's own installation. Something like that would be useful if you develop more than one web site at a time. Or is there other way?
Yes it's possible to have multiple Umbraco installations on the same computer or server. You just need to set up different sites in your IIS. Then you could in example have a site called site1.localhost and site2.localhost. Of course you also need to have two different databases, and two different sets of files. In this way you can have all the installations that you like on your computer.
Just ask again if you have problems setting things up :)
So, the idea is to set up different sites in IIS and on my wwwroot I have to make new "default" folders for each site, so I can have more sets of files.
Yeah, you need to have the right number of file sets, and the same number og databases. Then you can either create the amount of sites in your IIS, or you can switch the binding around for your default website (localhost). What I usually do is to create a IIS-site for each umbraco-installation I want to work on.
Multi web sites
Hi guys,
I know that it's possible to run more than one web site on one Umbraco installation. But if I understand it right, the macros are shared between all sites. Is it possible to have multi Umbraco installations on one computer, so each web site has it's own installation. Something like that would be useful if you develop more than one web site at a time. Or is there other way?
THX for any help.
