Setting up two web sites

[shamly]

Hi,

I have already set up a web server that hosts a web site with PHP 4.4.8. The include file path(s) has been set in the php.ini file. Now I have to setup another web site on the same server. In general this should be simple and straight forward.

My problem is that the new web site uses the same set of files and include files (with additional/updated coding), but this site needs to be run independently from the earlier web site as it provides additional functionality than the older one. Also when accessing the new web site the include files should be referenced from the new directory path only as it contains updated code.

I have searched Google but could not find an answer. May be my search terms need to be refined a bit .. 🙂. Anyhow I need this to be set up quickly and any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Take a look at the Apache vhost configuration stuff. There are plenty of ways you can actually configure php from within the Apache Virtualhost block. You can set paths, set environment variables, require prepend scripts, etc.

If you can do it, I would suggest leaving the php.ini include path as "global" as possible (i.e. pretty much just the tmp directory and any libraries you want (like PEAR)) and the inside your application, set the include path with [man]set_include_path/man. This frees you up to do more customization on a per-application level while allowing you to run multiple applications from the same php setup 😉
