Dual installations on one Drupal platform
May 05, 2010, 01:02:20 pm
A client I am setting up CiviCRM for wants one installation of CiviCRM for company wide contacts which everyone in the company has access to, and a completely separate installation of CiviCRM for the CEO's private database (I can't use ACL permissions for this for a bunch of reason, primarily b/c his private database has tons of groups and the company wide database also has lots of groups, and I will need to make so many ACL rules that performance will be degraded).

Is it possible to install two installations of CiviCRM on the same Drupal installation? Will the dual modules clash?


(I have come across the Multi-site Installation pages on Wiki, but it isn't clear about what the multi-site installation is precisely. It seems that multi-site is some kind of hierarchy using one database rather two separate database installations. Can someone please explain? Thanks.)

Installing multiple instances of civicrm e.g http://civicrm1.example.com, http://civicrm2.example.com .. with their own separate databases, would just be like any other multi site install in drupal - http://drupal.org/getting-started/6/install/multi-site.
Keeping multiple modules wouldn't be a problem as long as you following drupal's multisite instructions properly.

But if you want to have single database for all civicrm sites, And have an environment where an authenticated user can only see/work within the group the user belongs to, its multi-site / muti-org install we talking about -
