2nd site on same server.

New to C5 so I have to ask a newbie type question.
I have a C5 site on a dedicated server at BlueHost.
C5 is in a folder that contains the website. I am now adding a new site
in it's own folder. My question is - do I need to install a new C5 database for the new site in it's folder or can it "piggy back" on the installed database.

Last time I installed C5 it wanted a separate (empty) database.

Didn't make myself clear on this.
C5 makes it's own folder but in the site root of the websites folder.
The second site would have it's site root in the folder I made for it.

Yes you do have to add a separate database for creating an additional concrete 5 installation on the server.


However, If you wish to run multiple sites using a single core Concrete 5 installation , then you should check this How-to article

There is also this paid add-on available in the market place to achieve thishttp://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/domain_mapper/...

Thanks - good info
I guess the best (easiest) thing to do is to have a C5 data base for each site as long as I have the storage for it. Or until I get more than just a few sites.
