Can I have multiple installs of webinator 4.01 (or later) on the same physical machine? We have multiple virtual webservers on the same machine (e.g. - intranet, internet) which have different doc roots, cgi-bin directories, etc. During installation of 4.01 it asked for the web server which we provided. We then installed it again and specified the other web server and directories (and a different location for the main webinator install). It seems like it should work.

However, when i use the admin interface they appear to share profiles which doesn't make sense to me. The webservers don't share cgi-bin directories, doc roots, webinator install directories, etc. But if I log in to the webinator admin panel of one webserver and create a new profile it appears in the other webserver's webinator admin panel.

What's going on?

Thanks,
Bob

There's no simple way, but it can be done. The main issue is that there's one default database system wide. And that's where the profiles are stored.

Since you have separate copies of the scripts for each install you can edit the scripts and change the places where it assigns $controldb (there are only a few). Set it to the constant full path for the "testdb" database of that copy's install directory. e.g.
<$controldb="/usr/local/morph3/texis/testdb">
