I installed an SMF2 forum in a sub of the docroot where my existing 1.1.0 forum is for the purpose of learning SMF2. Are there any basic considerations for such a setup? I doubled the apc.shm_size because that started fragmenting and filling up. New database. This is my own LAMP box. P4 2.8, couple gigs of memory, plain ol 120 gig IDE drive, Suse 11, all the latest Apache, PHP and mysql packages. I'm just thinking there may be some things to tweak when running shared hosting like this.
Thanks,

1.1.0 http://gregnmary.gotdns.com:8080/index.php

2.0 RC2 http://gregnmary.gotdns.com:8080/forum1/index.php

It would be impossible to share the same databases between SMF 1.1.10 and SMF 2.0 RC2 as the database structure is completely different between the two versions.

Thanks
I did create a dedicated database for the SMF2 site.

Something like that

There are no issues running both version on the same machine, as long as the directories, databases (or database prefixes), and url's are different.

All the other server tweaking is about the same.

Other than increasing the APC cache? I had it set at 64 megs and it ran fine, but when I started fiddling with both forums it began to fill up and fragment so I set it to 128 and it seems OK for now.

You may also want to play with the table cache setting in MySQL... but that's more tweaking anything.

I have that at 128 now. I'll keep an eye on it.
Thanks
