duplicate site

[dhblewis]

I have the site perfect just as i want it but no producst thats because i need 10 of the same sites but with differrent cataogires.

hows the best way to do this?

That's a bit like asking how long is a piece of string....

Are all 10 going to be on the same server?
Can you zip/unzip files directly on your server?
Do you have 10 databases?

We could really do with a detailed description of the planned setup, but in essence...

Make a copy of the present database using phpMyAdmin
Make a copy of the present site.

Place 10 copies of the site.

If you have 10 databases, upload your db file; if you only have 1 db, you are going to have to use table prefixes and will need to edit each copy of the database before inserting it - I have no idea how fast/slow things would be with 10 sites on one db.

Edit all the configure.php files to access the correct domain/database etc.

Then add categories/product data for each site.

I think I've covered everything but no guarantees
