[opencms-dev] Many OpenCMS on one server?

[Claus Priisholm]

Hi

I know that your option 2 is a workable solution, but at a hundred 
sites you may have a bit trouble with the memory as you suggest.
I seem to recall someone from Alkacon commenting on the issue, and as I 
recall describing something along the lines of your third option, but 
at the same time pointing out that it was quite cumbersome to do - I 
guess because of all the effort needed with doing the setup files but 
also because the lack of a 'site' definition in the working model of 
OpenCms. I think you can get a long way towards the goal with projects, 
but it was my feeling that it wouldn't go all the way so I opted for 
option 2.
