Multiple websites on one server
Permalink
Ok, so my client has his main domain, domain.com, and from that domain, it will access 15 other sub pages that are each independent, so over 200 pages after navigation is added. Where do i place these sub folders? I tried putting one under my C5 folders (C5 is installed in the root), lets say it's named BLUE, but, when I try to install a new theme, by going to, domain.com/c5/blue, i get an index page and am not prompted to install C5 on BLUE. I have searched for an answer, but cannot seem to find one. So, will each sub domain have to have it's own folder in the C5 folder? Or, does each folder have to have C5 installed again? That just seems crazy to install C5 to every folder. I know I am missing something really simple here! Ugh! Advice?
If you're trying to run many sites in their own domain like:
blue.domain.com
red.domain.com
etc.
In this case I'd suggest talking to your webhost and asking whether they allow you running this kind of domain structure from your account. If this is allowed, you can map those domains to specific pages within c5, for example with the Multiple Domains add-on:
http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/multiple-domains/...
If you're just trying to add sub-pages like:
domain.com/red
domain.com/blue
etc.
This is doable completely within c5. Just add these sub-pages and then apply the specified theme TO THOSE PAGES. So when you setup themes for these sub-sites, you should just go into your sitemap, click the page, select the "Design" menu and there you can select a different theme only for that page.
