Creating one installation on an Apache server that can run child installations in other domains on the same server.
In these child domains do I only need to run the install point and will it create the neccesary files itself or do I need to follow the instructions mentioned here: http://www.editwrx.com/forums/forum2/28.html?
I did get confused by the following part:-) therefore my question:
Version 6.04+ automatically knows if the installation is a child installation. If it is a child installation all capability and options for doing automatic updates are voided. If it is the parent installation, automatic updates are available in Site Parameters and User Setups in the Admin Control Panel
Run child installations in other domains on other servers.
In these child domains on these other servers do I need to run the install point or is there another appraoch?
You can not run a child installation on a server different from a parent installation. A child installation shares the files of the parent installation since the parent files are on the same file system as the child installation. If the two domains are on different servers they do not share the same file system so a child on server B could not share the parent's files on server A. If the two domains are on different servers they each need their own set of files and you should install both with the installer.
If two domains are on the same server they then share the same file system and one of them can be a parent and the other a child. The entire purpose of a child is to avoid installing most of the files on the child since the child can use those files from the parent domain. Therefore, you do not want to run installer on such a child domain. A child contains only the wrx.cgi file and the /editwrx/library/data files as per http://www.editwrx.com/forums/forum2/28.html
