Here we go,
After the combination of sitegroup stuff and asgard proved to be sort of
unstable (least for my install), I am now about to install a multi db
setup. I would like to have the following features:
1) The site admins should be able to create users and groups for their
site.
2) The site admins should somehow be able ot use pictures without having
accounts on the machine where midgard runs.
3) The admin site should be shared and in an isolated database (the
latter with respect to easy upgrade of the admin site).
I believe, I have to create for each user a pair of admin/user virtual
servers, as suggested earlier by Emile:
<VirtualHost _default_:*>
Servername www.user1.com
MidgardDatabase user1 commonuser commonpass
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:*>
Servername admin.user1.com
MidgardDatabase user1 commonuser commonpass
MidgardPageDatabase adminsite commonuser commonpass
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:*>
Servername www.user2.com
MidgardDatabase user2 commonuser commonpass
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost _default_:*>
Servername admin.user2.com
MidgardDatabase user2 commonuser commonpass
MidgardPageDatabase adminsite commonuser commonpass
</VirtualHost>
I believe, with a setup like this, authentication is always done against
the user databases, is this so? If so, then I have to create a number of
user databases where the adminsitrator account is already set but
nothing else need to be in there, because each user can access the admin
site andd create hosts.
Question 1) Am I right about this?
Question 2a) Suppose, I have only one shared blobdir. But since the blob
tables are in the user databases, I will have a mess, right? Or not?
Qusetion 2.b) The old admin site is not attachment-aware. Is there a
fix?
Sorry for all these questions...
