MultiSite Setup

Gallery can support multiple independent sites with a single installation of the code. This is done by configuring the webserver to point multiple URL domains, subdomains or paths at the Gallery code and then rerunning this installer to configure each site.

This installer session will configure a new site at ivyanderson.com

There are multiple methods to direct different URLs to the same Gallery code:

• If you have a shell account on a unix server create a symbolic link.   +

  cd /location/for/new/gallery
  ln -s /path/to/gallery2 newgallery
  ls newgallery

  The last line is to verify the link path is correct. It should list the files in the gallery2 directory including main.php.
• Otherwise use an Apache .htaccess file.   +
  Below is a sample .htaccess to point /path/photos to a gallery2 directory where the Gallery code resides.

  RedirectMatch permanent ^/path/photos$ /path/photos/main.php
  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /path/photos
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/gallery2/$1
  </IfModule>

  Create the photos directory in the appropriate location and place the .htaccess file there. Modify the items in bold above with the correct paths. Note these are URL paths and not filesystem paths.

To configure a new Gallery site first setup the new URL as described above and verify it works by browsing to main.php. This will bring up the previously configured Gallery site. Then rerun this installer using the new URL. The storage directory and database setup for the new site must be different than the original site. Either a different database or just a different table prefix in the same database will work. After configuration the original and new URLs will display separate Gallery sites.
