One database for many minisites, is it possible?

[okapi]

Hi all,

I'm looking for a CMS to develop about 10 minisites, each one on a different domain, with only one installation and one mysql database.

Is it possible?

Yes, you can set up a database on one site / server and connect to it from another site/server. You can then pull whatever information you want from the DB.

	$dbName='NameOfDatabase';
	$dbUser='DatabaseUser';
	$dbPass='DatabasePassword';
	$dbServer='Server/Host';
	
	mysql_connect ($dbServer, $dbUser, $dbPass) or die ('Error connecting to the database because: ' . mysql_error());

Just set the $dbServer to where the db is hosted.
