digital_distortion Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I am trying to design a website with three groups of weblogs. I can do this either by having two of them as subdomains or at least as separate directories. I have already installed MT on the main site. and can set up the weblog there. But I want to know if I will need to instal MT for each of the subdomains or subdirectories. Can someone help me ? Quote
DarqFlare Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I can't say I've set up a single MT script to generate three different weblogs, but it can do it. I know it can... I however, being the inefficient person I am when it comes to premade scripts, just installed it four times for these four weblogs.. lol. Quote
TCH-Rick Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 You can run all your weblogs from one installation. I have four set up on a site. I set up my MT in ****/mt so that everyone accesses it at ****/mt/mt.cgi (for the MT control.) You can set up the individual weblogs in MT to control which subdirectory to upload the html files. It is much more efficient to install MT once rather than in each subdomain. Quote
schussat Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 You can set up the individual weblogs in MT to control which subdirectory to upload the html files. It is much more efficient to install MT once rather than in each subdomain. Yep, and that means that it's no problem to mix and match subdomain blogs with blogs located in subdirectories. It's really slick. Quote
Blackcat Posted March 21, 2004 Posted March 21, 2004 I did the same, installed Movable Type in the main root and then created subdomains for each blog. They all log in from the same page, but then are "switched" by MT to their archives, created in the relating subdomain. And they all work great, fast and without errors Quote
digital_distortion Posted March 22, 2004 Author Posted March 22, 2004 I am glad I decided to come to TCH. These support forums are really great. Thank you folks. I will get back to you as I grope my way through the actual work on the site. Quote
DarqFlare Posted March 22, 2004 Posted March 22, 2004 Well, I've been converting between having four separate installs of MT to one central one.. It's somewhat tough, but doable if you do the right sequences. If anybody is curious how to merge separate installs, just ask me. I've got a process that seems to work, I haven't run across any bugs yet. Quote
