multiple subdomains on Drupal multisite - same Civi code and db
December 11, 2011, 09:20:54 pm
Hi I have a Drupal 6 multisite where multiple subdomains are used.   california.abc.com, oregon.abc.com etc.   The content of the sites are the same and they use the same Drupal DB, the differences are purely aesthetic (theme) stuff.

I want the same CiviCRM codebase and dB to be available to all subdomains.

What is the best (easiest) way to accomplish this with CiviCRM 3.4?  I haven't installed yet.  I notice the docs are a little out of date (here too) on this subject. 

If someone can explain best way to do this, I'd be happy to update the wiki.

Thanks. :)

and having a separate crm.abc.com is not an option?

For the front office, copying civicrm.settings.php and adjusting the url might be an option, for the backoffice, probably not, as the domain is hardcoded in the db.

It should be relatively easy to fix the urls in resource to be relative and it would then work.

Merci.

I did one install of Civi using one of the subdomains.  Then I copied civicrm.settings.php to each subdomain and changed the base URL in each civicrm.settings.php.   This appears to work fine for both the 'front end' (forms and registration) and backend administration areas.

Hi,

Some features depends on the url as set in the resource url. Things like emails for instance I think.

Would be good you identify which ones and hopefully being able to fix them.

(so the resource url only contains the relative path without the domain name, and the domain name is only in civicrm.settings)

As of 4.1 you should be able to store things like resource urls in civicrm.settings.php.

We use the domain module to provide multiple sites with one drupal db & one civicrm db (it allows different themes per URL & has quite a lot of other features if required) & then stick 'if thens' into civicrm.settings.php to set the base url depending on the domain - this is just about enough under 3.4 but occassionally the resourceurl causes problems - e.g. on secure pages.
