Guest Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Looking to open an exact copy of current shop on new domain. Can I simply use the same database or would I have to use a contrib like multi shops to do this? Are there any compatibility issues (if I do not use multi shops install) using the same database?

Velveeta Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Looking to open an exact copy of current shop on new domain. Can I simply use the same database or would I have to use a contrib like multi shops to do this? Are there any compatibility issues (if I do not use multi shops install) using the same database? I don't think there should be any compatibility issues here... If you're setting it up on the same server, you don't even have to do much extra besides setting it up, as it should connect to the db the same way... If you're setting it up on a different server, you'll just need to alter the db connection info to look to the other server for the connection... You'll also need to make sure that if your sessions are stored in files vs. the database, that you mirror the location on the other store... i.e. if you've got them set for /tmp, make sure you've got read/write access to /tmp on the other domain, because you won't be able to make 2 separate configuration entries for that in the admin console without a contribution or some custom codework yourself... Also, without a contribution in place, you won't really be able to tell which store each order came from, they'll both just store orders in the central database with nothing to differentiate them...
