Wordpress quiestion! MASS install? Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp
 
here's the story - I have 30 domains on the SAME host, can I install wordpress on all of them but use only ONE database?

What happens right now is I have to add database request for each one of them, then wait for the host to add the databases, then upload to each domain and so on..


I'm 99% sure that this can be done like blog one has tables with prefix 1 eg 1wp_posts, 1wp_comments, then blog 2 has a prefix 2 etc

Anyone done it?

thanks

you can use only one database

in wp-config.php there's a setting for table prefix
$table_prefix = 'wp_'; // Only numbers, letters, and underscores please!

all you need to do is change it
and there you go...

The answer is yes, but it you use one database, you'll be limited to the plugins and template of that ONE database.

Also, you'll need to maintain one Admin section.

Content on each blog would obviously be the same as well.

thanks the second link looks like exactly what I need but that code looks a bit weird to me (don't know php)

Code:
// You can have multiple installations in one database if you give each a unique prefix
$domain_list = array();

// auto database name
$domain_list["yourdomain.com"] = ??;

$domain_name = preg_replace(?/^www\./?, ??, $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]);

if (array_key_exists($domain_name, $domain_list))
{
$table_prefix = $domain_list[$domain_name];
if (!$table_prefix) { $table_prefix = ?wp_? . md5($domain_name); }
}
else
{
print ?Unknown error?; exit;
}
do I add every domain HERE:
$domain_list = array();

like

$domain_list = array(mydomain.com, mydomain2.com, mydomain3.com);

??


or just use the code as it is

thanks

$domain_list = array('domain.com', 'domain2.com', 'domain3.com');

if you use a lot of plugins you could run into some bugs, but someone already pointed that out. If they are pretty basic installs you'll be find as long as you change the prefix.
