[opencms-dev] Feedback requested for current CVS HEAD version

[Stephan Hartmann]

about multiple sites:
is it possible to assign sites to different host names instead of ports?
this should be possible by analysing the http 1.1 host parameter.
As it is now implemented, it is ok for a company to maintain more than one
corporate sites in one instance.
However it is not usable if you have two sites of different customers on one
instance and you want to give them the ability to edit their sites on their
own. Therefor each site must have its own user and group base, its own
workplace and it must be possible to install modules on a per site basis.

Bye,
Stephan
