Manager Context

« on: Dec 03, 2007, 06:31 PM »

Two short questions:

With 0.9.7 is it possible to have the manager as a subdomain via and separate context?

and is it possible to change the name of the manager, for example: mydomain.com/admin instead?

Yes and yes. I've run one with the manager as area51/. I have not run a manager as a standalone subdomain yet, but I don't see any obvious reasons why it wouldn't work as is.

In fact, I'm running a single core/ located outside of my web server document root for maximum security (and managed by SVN directly), and several different configurations (different databases, caches, managers) from that single core successfully right now.

wow, that sounds hyper secure - what's the nature of the website that needs this much security? - or is it just because you can?

Do you know if this sort of stuff will be documented/wikied in conjunction with the 0.9.7 release? - has 0.9.7 got any documentation yet?

Documentation for 097 will be much more extensive. The advantage of running one core out of webroot extends far beyond security, though security is certainly a very good reason on it's own. You can run multiple sites off one core install, so an upgrade for one site upgrades them all.

For some preliminary ideas of some of what's going to be possible with 097, I suggest starting at Jason's blog post then peeking at the 097 Roadmap.

I am new to modx and I am interested in how to setup multiple sites under the one install. eg: www.somesite.com.au and www.othersite.com.au
Thanks,
Troy
