TYPO virtual hosting

[karunnt]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a dedicated server to provide multiple TYPO3 websites in a name-based virtual hosting configuration.

1) unzip TYPO3 source in /var/www/typo3_src-4.1.5
2) Create users for each virtual website /home/user1, /home/user2 etc.
3) Unzip the dummy package in each users directory

/home/user1/
/fileadmin
/typo3temp
/typo3conf
/uploads

And symlink to the source in /var/www/typo3_src/-4.1.5

Is this the correct way to set this up?

Thanks.

Either for you or someone else, I had our lead Site designer look at Typo3, and he remarked that it really doesn't look comptiable with DirectAdmin.

Have you been able to make it work?

TYPO3 is definately very compatible with DirectAdmin, but the main "problem" of TYPO3 is it's pretty steep learning curve. This includes installation.
Certainly with the permissions in DA it is not all that easy, but very well possible, also with only 1 copy of the source on your complete system.
I just don't really know anymore how I did it, but at the moment, it works fine for me It does include some editing of the virtual_host.conf-templates though.

I'm still unsure how this works but I think it is possible.

Simlink is the way

Hello,

Symlinking and placing your typo core in the /usr/local/ directory is the best option for this moment i think.

Is it not working? and if not what is wrong?

regards

I have this finally running as a regular domain site.

I tried to create another site with three subdomains. The main site does not have a TYPO3 site but each of the subdomains each have their own TYPO3 site each symlinking to the same source at /usr/local/typo3_src-4.1.5

/home/user3/domains/mydomainsite.com/public_html/sub1/
/home/user3/domains/mydomainsite.com/public_html/sub2/
/home/user3/domains/mydomainsite.com/public_html/sub3/

When I try to go to the first subdomain site to proceed with the install:

http://sub1.mydomainsite.com/typo3/install

I don't think PHP is working correctly because I get this ....

* @package TYPO3 * @subpackage core */ // ************************************************************************** // Insert some security here, if you don't trust the Install Tool Password: // ************************************************************************** error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE); $PATH_thisScript = str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/', (php_sapi_name()=='cgi'||php_sapi_name()=='isapi' ||php_sapi_name()=='cgi-fcgi')&&($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']?$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']:$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])?

I used to run TYPO3 on a VPS (just one instance) and had multiple sites on that one instance.

I had multiple domains with each domain pointing to a specific subtree of the main pagetree and I created a 'TYPO3 domain record' at the root of each subtree to identify where the domain should start.

I also tried that same with subdomains instead of domains.

This is a little different. In this case I want *different* TYPO3 instances under the main domain directory and each located by subdomains of the main domain.

Thanks.
