Re: How to deal with multiple sites within one
i think this is more of a IIS issue than CF. yes you can use CGI to redirect the user but why do it at this level. if each domain is on the same server you can just setup one ColdFusion datasource then each domain can access the same database and its content. if you want to keep it secure with a SSL cert you will need one 1 for each domain name, it is possible to get a server SSL cert to cover every domain but they are expensive and if a user checks out the cert they tend to note the server name which can look less appealing to the customer as normally your would expect to see the domain name. i am not sure about sharing the cart session, but i think by accident once I named the application the same and my sessions leaked somehow, but i could be wrong on that one. i also have to warn you having multiple domains with the same content can class as duplicated content in Google. If Google decides the websites are the same it WILL only index one of them or only one domain will come up per search query i.e. sports. this rule will also apply to sub domains Google will only list 2 sub domains in the same results but NEVER on the same page. hope this helps :) ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317288 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: How to deal with multiple sites within one
Dunno if mine is the best solution, but I've got about 10 sites pulling from one db, I put a cfswitch statement from the cgi variable to handle getting people to the correct pages; one if they type in website.com, one for www.website.com. I have not had any problems with this method yet... ~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:317280 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4

Re: How to deal with multiple sites within one
To the best of my understanding you'll need a SSL cert for each domain/ ip address. If the sites were all sub-domains then there is a way to do it with one SSL cert.

How to deal with multiple sites within one
This is more of a general question. I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about implementing something. My client wants to expand our sports clothing website to more than one sport/website. So for example, www.xsports.com would house: www.xsportsvolleyball.com www.xsportsbaseball.com www.xsportstennis.com I'd like to keep it all under one roof, and one database. I have the database worked out, but just need help in thinking-out what the user sees, and how it actually would work. Oh, each website would have a menu of links to its sister sites. What's the best way to go about setting up the domain names so my requests can deal with each domain, show products from each separately, yet they'd be stored in the same database. Then there's the cart. Would you let folks store products from the different domains, IN the same cart? Or is that even possible? Any tips would be appreciated.

Re: How to deal with multiple sites within one
What I did for RIAForge is simply sniff the CGI variable hostname I believe. Maybe server_name. Either way, when you go to x.riaforge.org, and it isn't www.riaforge.org, we treat it as a project home page. I convert from x to a real project primary key value, and from there it is a trivial matter to display project specific information. You can download RIAForge itself if you want to see this in action: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2007/7/11/You-want-some-RIAForge-source-You-got-some-RIAForge-source On Sat, Dec 27, 2008 at 1:21 PM, Will Tomlinson w...@wtomlinson.com wrote: This is more of a general question.
