Forum .LRN Q&A: Multiple instances of dotLRN on one server

It appears like you can't install multiple copies of dotlrn on the
same site.

That would be a really awesome feature to have, making it cheaper to
run an ASP-style web site.

Does one of those people with deep technical dotLRN knowledge give
an idea of how hard that would be to implement?

This was one of the things we worried about when initially designing dotLRN.
We figured dotLRN is used to manage multiple communities, so it's already a
bit of a meta-tool. Mutliple dotLRNs means a meta-meta-tool.

This doesn't mean it can't be done. You'd need to set up a different community
type root for each instance of dotlrn, which the current model would support
without too much difficulty. That's really the biggest requirement - making sure
each tree of communities is rooted independently at each main dotlrn mount
point.

I see your point. So if people aren't sharing any communities, they wouldn't be able to see anything from any other person's community. That could carry us a long way.

The more pure ASP model would still be a good to have, though.

Thanks for the info.
