Can I successfully install two separate carts on the same URL for my client? This is what he wants in order to save on the purchase of two certificates.
I did a manual install of two zen-carts on the same URL using Zen-Cart version 1.3.9d.
I installed one cart on mydomain.com/catcart and the other cart on mydomain.com/dogcart. So they are in separate sub-folders of the same URL.
Both databases were stored on myhost.mydomain.com. I used a different prefix for each cart as in ‘cat’ prefix and as in ‘dog’ prefix, so each of the tables within the host are unique.
I used the same db_server_name & password, i.e,
‘DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'someusername'
‘DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'somepassphrease' for both carts. Should they have been different users and passwords? If so how do I change them?
Has anyone done this successfully? Are there any other items that need to be addressed?
Should I give up and move the second cart to another domain?
