Multiple Forums on a Single box

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

Greetings. I want to run multiple forums for very separate topics on the same box. I'm wondering if I can simply create another install of jforums under a different webapp dir, and point them at a seperate mysql db, with a different username.

Will that work or are there singleton objects that will conflict?

I guess what I'm trying to acomplish is a separate community for a separate topic. I don't really care if the usernames are shared, but I dont want one community to see the other communities forums unless they use a different hostname, or url...

Thanks!

If you wannt put under the same context, then you'll have problems, because there are a lot of static variables.

Now, if contexts are different ( aka, /forum1 and /forum2, for example ), then you are ok.

Well, if you was wondering about having more than one jforum under the same context, then it can't be done currently. I can think in some ideias to allow that, but would require major refactorings. Maybe in the future
