Running Multiple sites off one php install

  • Im running multiple wordpress sites from within the same server and was wondering if there is a way to running multiple sites to point to only one wordpress install. (so things like software upgrade can be applied to only one site etc)

    Hi,

    Just to bump an old thread I found – I’m having the same issue.

    I will get around to trying MU very soon.

    However, is it actually possible to run distinct sites from the same WP install? For example, I host three sites and counting, based on wordpress, on the same server. They exist in different domains and are served using virtual hosting.

    It’s a bit of a pain to upgrade them all – especially since I limit the areas of the filesystem to which WP can write, ruling out auto-upgrade. I don’t particularly want to give write permissions to the WP install files to the apache process (other than uploads folder).

    I was thinking that maybe I could have one install, with different wp-config files to point WP at the database for that particular site. I’d then just use a plugin “pool” in the single installation, with each site only activating the plugins it actually uses.

    Thanks,
    Iain
