            !Multiple Tikis on a Single Server
Is is possible to have multiple Tikis on a single server.  There are three major requirements that must be satisfied:
*Tiki must have access to a separate database for each URL.
*Apache must know how to associate multiple URLs with the Tiki. 
*You must create the necessary directories with the Tiki's main directory.

!!Create a separate database for each url.
*Each database will have a different name.  In mysql, creating the databases is normally accomplished with the mysqladmin command.  You may have permission to create the database, or you may have to ask a system administrator.  To actually actually tell Tiki which database goes with which URL you have to edit one of Tiki's PHP files.  The file db/local.php is designed for this purpose.

!!Configure Apache for multiple Tikis.
*Typically, each Tiki will be accessed by a separate URL through Apache.  Generally, the URLs are specified as virtual hosts -- often in VirtualHost stanzas with apache's configuration file.

!!Create the necessary directories within Tiki's main directory.
*On a Unix system, the easiest way to create the new directories and set permissions is by specifing more than one tikidomain when you run setup.sh.  You would run setup.sh with a command like:
{CODE()} ./setup.sh apache apache 02755 domain1 domain2 domain3 {CODE}
Create the directories manually for Windows hosting.

You can add additional tikidomains after you have installed a single Tiki, but you will have to manually create the needed directories.  If you are hosting on a Unix system, you will also need to manually set the ownership and permissions.
