That's almost exactly how we do it. We have 3000+ websites running off the same codebase.
-----Original Message----- From: Rick Root [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2008 1:20 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: many sites, one codebase I have a client who is running hundreds of web sites using the same code base in subdirectories of the parent domain. Example. www.mydomain.com/site1/index.cfm and www.mydomain.com/site2/index.cfm. They are duplicating the entire file structure like this: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\site1\index.cfm C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\site2\index.cfm EVERYHING under site1 and site2 is duplicated. My first inclination is to make "site1" and "site2" virtual directories and have all these virtual directories point to the same path. Then the application.cfm can get the unique site ID (currently hardcoded into each application.cfm) from a database based on the cgi.path_translated or cgi.script_name Seem reasonable?
