Wanting To Install Two Osc Stores On One Server/database

[livingplanet]

Hi there,

I currently have one Osc store setup on one server (www.livingplanet.ca/shop/catalog) using a MySQL database.

What I would like to do is have another shop using the same database on the same server. I will be using a different domain (www.whatsupstairs.com) pointed at the store and have the second store also hosted on www.livingplanet.ca since I have an SSL certificate with that site.

 

 

Are there any sites/forum topics anyone could forward me too or any advice? I took a look through the forum and have not found anything yet regarding this.

 

I tried doing another install, but I don't see where I can change which table it recalls the Osc information from. I'm also really new to php and minimal working knowledge of it.

 

Any help would be great.

 

Thanks

Just configure the database tables for the second store to have a prefix like "store2_". This will keep the stores seperate while using the same database. Or, just keep things simple for yourself and create another database...

Personally, I'd recommend using two seperate databases for two seperate shops. If one goes belly up you are going to have two stores offline instead of just one

Thanks.

I was looking into just adding something like "store2_" but I'm not exactly sure where to put it in the install.

 

In a sort of related note, I figured out how to do it in Wordpress to have two blogs installed within the same database. I guess my question then would be is it similiar to Osc.
