Title: 2 databases?
Post by: test1.0 on March 29, 2012, 12:34:12 PM
guys say i have

a domain and a sub domain

1 database for the domain and 1 for the sub domain, on the same cpanel account

would that work? and the domain would go to say x database and sub domain to xx database,

or do i just use one database....... :-\

thanks

Lloyd

This might work, especially when each domain has its own forum.

Yep that's fine - as long as you're running 2 different forums.

Sounds good :) Yep it's fine to run multiple apps/softwares on multiple databases. You just enter the different database information when you come to install the scripts.
