Two versions of C5 installed on same server

Permalink
Is it possible to have two versions of C5 running on the same account?

I am developing a clients site on the back our of ours (they have a current C5 site running on their server). But I need to take our site in C5.

I have 2 separate databases which I will point separately but I presume both C5 sites will leave each other alone with no compatability issues?

You can have as many C5 installs as you want and only limited by server space, DB count and server load. Just make a new folder on the server and install C5 there - no conflict with the rest as long as the folder name is not the same as a name of one of the pages.

so, if you havehttp://mysite.com, you can install a new C5 inhttp://mysite.com/site1,http://mysite.com/site2 etc.

Thanks. Thought that was the case but thought I'd check before I destroy something!

Even better if you can add a free subdomain (many hosts have this) so you can backup/restore separately.

mysite.com => /home/user/web/mysite/

test.mysite.com => /home/user/web/test/

This can also save you from some weird .htaccess side-effects...
