Question about your Multisite page setup
Permalink
Hi!
I would like to use concrete5 for a project of mine.
It's almost (with some customizations which I would do by myself) the same setup like you people from concrete5 use for your sites.
That's what I would like to achieve:
Someone can enter/register a subdomain on the main website domain.com and can choose a sitename like site1.domain.com. (Like onhttp://www.concrete5.org/about/trial/)....
Which means this person gets his own website/concrete5cms which (s)he can customize etc.
I would be very interested how you set up your "get started" site and manage all the sub sites on it.
As I have seen onhttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/chat/our_plans_for_the_mu... there will be NO Multisite manager available.
Andhttp://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/documentation_efforts/mul... tells me that you have to join the hosting partner program to get access to the whitepapers and other stuff where you explain your setup.
I don't have a problem to pay money for this but before I do this (also because of money issues) I would like to know if these whitepapers and the help provided could get me exactly what I want + also I would like to list all registered websites on the main page.
AND when will the newsletter module (http://www.concrete5.org/index.php?cID=18365) be released?
Thanks!

I'm not sure if the c5 team really is working on the MSM.
I have seen this Hosting page, but though there is a link to a contact form where you can get informed when the MSM is out I'm not convinced if there will be one in near future (as written in the posts I mentioned).
It would be nice if Franz or someone else from the c5 core team could give a statement on the multisite manager topic. And if yes, WHEN they expect to release it.
In my post I referred to the Hosting Partner Program (Developers -> Partner Programs) not to the Hosting Service (Services -> Hosting).

The white papers detail exactly how to set up the multisite instance of c5 in great detail. However, be aware that you will need SSH/Terminal access. So there are some hosting restrictions. Its a rather advanced method of hosting "sites" but surprisingly easier than what aeroclown mentioned.
Franz, Andrew or one of the core C5 members would have to supply a more detailed answer. But as you have read, there is a whole lot of "management" that I remember.

Looks like this is everything I need.
I would just appreciate, as I mentioned in my reply to aeroclown, a statement from someone of the c5 core team if the Multisite manager is really dead or not (as there is a link on the hosting page).
Do you know if in the white-papers they set up one database for each new sub-site (site1.domain.com) or if there is just ONE database for all of them.
And if they describe a possibility to share content across all of the c5 sub-sites (like placing a banner or a global navigation [in addition to the sub-site's one] on each sub-site).
Thanks a lot!

we are working on a multi-site-manager app.
we already use it ourselves.
it does not have a release date.

i hope you will release the msm asap, i think that's a tool some people would pay for.

The MSM is in the works from what it looks like. From what I understand from Franz you'll need to install it on a system that doesn't use something like cpanel. It'll have to be on a clean system with a Lamp stack or something similar, that is all pre-release though so no Idea what will really be there. I don't know anything more then that.
You might click on the MSM news button and use the contact form there.
Now how to do the first part, that is the question of the day isn't it. It must be some kind of local automation that writes to the virtual server configuration and named/bind configuration or something of that nature, but no idea atm.
It would seem you would need to be able to provision the site, tell apache how to get to it, and then also update DNS resolution.
