<DIV>Thanks a lot for your reply. We have a about 100 sites to be developed. Each site would have not more thatn 20 pages. All the site would follow the same navigation and information architeture. So if I where to have 100 instances of OpenCMS - which means 100 instances of tomcat and 100 schemas in the database?? Right. My question is is OpenCMS suitable for what I am looking for.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Please advise.</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks</DIV>

<DIV>Hi there,<BR><BR>first you can always map several domains to one IP. But I think you <BR>know <BR>that.<BR>You can also host several sites in different folders on the server and <BR>redirect users there. company1.com -> 66.66.66.66/company1 , <BR>company2.com -> 66.66.66.66/company2<BR>This is possible with OpenCMS in two ways:<BR>a) one instance/installation of OpenCMS per subfolder<BR>Your URLs would look like <BR><A href="http://company1.com/company1/opencms/index.html" target=_blank><FONT color=#003399>http://company1.com/company1/opencms/index.html</FONT></A><BR><A href="http://company2.com/company2/opencms/index.html" target=_blank><FONT color=#003399>http://company2.com/company2/opencms/index.html</FONT></A><BR>If you have different users for company1|2.com they can be assigned <BR>logins and passwords only for their instance.<BR>b) one instance/installation of OpenCMS for all<BR>If you choose to put each site in a seperate subfolder your URLs would <BR>look
like<BR><A href="http://company1.com/opencms/opencms/company1/index.html" target=_blank><FONT color=#003399>http://company1.com/opencms/opencms/company1/index.html</FONT></A><BR><A href="http://company2.com/opencms/opencms/company2/index.html" target=_blank><FONT color=#003399>http://company2.com/opencms/opencms/company2/index.html</FONT></A><BR>Main disadvantage with this approach is that all users see all <BR>templates <BR>in the editors and that administrators could mess with the settings for <BR>the other company. This is true for 5.0.x. I heard OpenCMS 6 aims to <BR>remedy this problem. It's ETA is Q4 this year.<BR><BR>The number of hosted pages or "sites" in one instance is virtually <BR>unlimited, that is it can be as large as your RAM allows it. We run <BR>about ten instances (some big, some small) of OpenCMS and allowed the <BR>VM <BR>to take 768MB. Add some memory for the database.<BR><BR></DIV><p>
