Setting up subdomains with 1 database but multiple installation in medium Trus

First thanks for this great CMS,  I have found it quite easy to use, powerful and looking through the developer docs it looks easy to extend, so as an active asp.net developers, I am looking forward to playing with the custom modules possibilities.

I have been trying to set up subdomains in Medium Trust for some time and I am flat out of ideas on how to get it to work.

Since I am in medium trust, reading through the documentation, suggests that I will need multiple installations.  On my provider side I have setup

domain1.xxx.com

domain2.xxx.com

and on the server they map to /domain1 and /domain2 folders.

I have used the same connection string in both subdomains so that the same DB will be used.  Unfortuantely it looks like the 2 subdomains are using the same db schema.  I think I need to somehow set  a unique SiteID per subdomain when using multiple installations, but 1 DB, but I can't see where this parameter is.

 

any help would be appreciated.

cheers,

shelby

Re: Setting up subdomains with 1 database but multiple installation in medium Trus

If you go into the first site, in Administration Menu > Site Settings, you should see a dropdown next to the site title, choose the 2nd site from the list then on the Host Name mapping tab specify the host name domain2.xxx.com 

Any host name that resolves to the ip address the site is running on will always use the first site unless it is mapped to a different site by host name mapping. So its really only needed to specify it for the secondary host names. 

Hope it helps,

Joe
