Multiple Stores

Hello

 

I'm new to Oscommerce. I was just wondering if I can have multiple stores on one server. I host a numeber of websites that are interested in using this software. The stores are in no way related to each other. I would like each store to have their own database and their own admin. The customers are not shared because they are the customers for different peoples stores.

 

Can I just copy the catalog and adim files into each dir and run the web setup for each domain/store. Or am I totally out to lunch...

 

I have one store working. I have read some of the contrubutions and it seems like you can have multiple stores but they seem like they share one admin. Can I have more then one admin. So each store owner can manage their customers and products?

 

Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

 

Regards

 

D.

i haven't done this yet, but i plan to have a have a "production" shopping cart and a test/development version (and i know there are others who do this as well) ... so i don't see why you couldn't do the same thing for multiple clients on the same server. just install each one into its own subdirectory, including the admin.

 

client1/catalog

client1/catalog/admin

 

client2/catalog

client2/catalog/admin

 

etc

 

i would create a separate database for each client so they can't mess each other's up -- make sure each configure.php points to their individual databases.

 

disclaimer: i have absolutely nothing to do with the osc support or development teams, i'm probably totally out of line making such a recommendation, but i'm pretty sure that should work.

 

good luck.
