Running multiple instances of moodle from 1 server

Running multiple instances of moodle from 1 server

I am trying to set up moodle for 3 sites: 1. General SME Security Area 2. Training 3. Recovery Plans. I have the General SME Security Area up and running with the files in D:\moodle\xampp\htdocs\moodle and I have the moodle tables in the moodle.sql database. Can anyone give me a step-through guide of how I could create the other moodle sites that I would call training & the other recovery? I am doing this on a test machine and then I want to move it over to the production one when the tests are proven.

Any references to other posts would be helpful also

Thanks

Bob

Just repeat what you did to set-up the first install, but give the moodle directory a different name, use a different database, and set-up a different moodledata directory. Something like:

D:\moodle\xampp\htdocs\moodle

D:\moodle\xampp\htdocs\training

D:\moodle\xampp\htdocs\recovery

Training and recovery above are moodle installs with the directory renamed.

Just remember, when you install each one and you are configuring them, set a unique session cookie for each install. You can set-up 3, 30, or 300 installs this way as long as your server can handle it.
