Multiple Sites using indpendent databases
|
|
| ettropics 2004-08-25, 5:54 pm |
| I am running MCMS 2002 on a Win2k server and using a separate SQL 2000
server for the database(s).
I have multiple independent websites, each has their own IP. I would
like for each website to use their own independent SQL database. Is
this possible?
When I have set the new website up with its own database, I am not
able to get into the first website because that database is no longer
selected. Am I missing something here?
I hope someone can answer this question for me and how to go about it
correctly. I do not want all the websites using the same database as
they are different entities altogether.
TIA

| Hi,
a MCMS server can only connect to one single database. So it is not possible
to store different sites in different databases.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hi,
The relationship between MCMS's Server Components + Database is many-to-one.
The DCA is 'website' independent and will store the connection string in the
registry keys.
You shouldn't have a problem if you use 1 database and create seperate
channels under /Channels
Regards

| Thank you both for the answers you provided. Our organization's
security policy requires that each independent CMS project is to have
it's own dedicated database. From what you both have said, this is
not possible.
I was under the impression from a book source that you could create
multiple CMS sites on one server, each using an Indpendent Dedicated
Database. I tried it again after hours and it does not work, as one
database is switched to another to set up for a new CMS site, it shuts
the other website down even after the IIS services have been
restarted. The DBA is a tool to switch between DBA's, of what use is
the DBA if you can only use one running database at a time? In what
scenario would you be able to use multiple databases, where each would
function simultaneously?
Thank you for any and all feedback regarding these questions.

| Quite simple:
If each project is hosted on a different MCMS server connected to a
different MCMS database.
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hi
Another option is to host all the content in a single database and use MCMS
user roles to decide the access given to users. If this is not acceptable,
then Stefan's solution is the only way that works for multiple databases.
