Do I need a separate concrete5 install in each subdomain?
Permalink
I have just upgraded my site, actually rewrote it, because my hosting company has updated php to V7.3 and my site was way back at C5 v5.6 and php 5.6.4. With only a few pages, I found it easier to just rebuild it with all the new versions. That site is working fine. I also have a site for my wife's books that is currently on another server that no longer works for the same reasons mine didn't. I want to move hers to my account (my public_htmi) as a sub domain that her URL points to. Do I need to upload a separate instance of C5 to that subdomain folder in order to build her site? Or will the instance of C5 in my public_html be able to build her site as well with the site files in her subdomain folder? I guess another way to ask the question is does each site need a unique instance of C5 to build that site?
To save on duplication, you may be able to use file system links so they share the same core files.
You will still need separate licenses for any marketplace items used in more than one domain/subdomain as the licence is per site (the exception would be if a subdomain is a staging or development site)

There are a couple addons available in the marketplace that do allow management of subdomains, such as Domain Mapper ($125).
The next versions of C5 will apparently have multi-site management built into the core, as seen here:https://www.concrete5.org/about/roadmap...
