You can run multiple servers. To do this you'll want to use the source distribution. I've added some instructions for setting up the necessary environment here: http://www.schooltool.org/documentation/developer-references/setting-up-a-development-environment/mac-os-x Once you've got that set up, you can just make multiple copies of the current source distribution and edit schooltool.conf to make them run on different ports. Once you've got the environment set up right, you can follow the Linux-oriented docs (README, etc). If you get that running, you'll also need to tweak the init scripts to point to your new SchoolTool(s) so they'll start automatically on boot. > Is the ability to have multiple timetables not really useful at this point > since the users can't pick the timetable to use or is there a benefit that I > don't see? At this point, what you can do is have a set of class sections that meet on a non-standard timetable. They'll show up on the student and teacher calendar correctly (starting and ending at the right time). They just won't fit in the "slots" for the default timetable. --Tom _______________________________________________ Schooltool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schooltool.org/mailman/listinfo/schooltool
