[xwiki-devs] Two skins, one DB?
Hello fellow developers, has anyone tried running two XWiki instances on the same DB? I think everyone doing clustering does this, with the addition of the observation module for emptying caches when appropriate. Has anyone tried running this same configuration (two servers simultaneously) but with two different URLs and two different skins? (but the same core)? It looks just as doable to me. Or? Thanks for hints. Paul
As long as you have clustering enabled this should work. However you could also have domain dependent skins with an easy patch Ludovic Envoyé de mon iPhone Le 29 mars 2013 à 20:40, Paul Libbrecht <[email protected]> a écrit :

Well it depends what you mean by skin. Both instance will share the same setup in XWikiPreferences so the same default skin name and skin pages. Now you can have differences on file system of course.
Thanks for hints.

Thomas Just a worry: would there be something that makes sure that the cfg's are the same? Clearly there is a part of the config that needs to be shared, anything far or close to the DB, and another that does not need to. I'm fearing there is a system to refuse to cluster if there's not. paul

In XWiki itself the only thing related to clustering is observation events sharing between instances of the cluster and everything that react to them. You can have completely different filesystem configuration in all your cluster instances.
