Can I run two carts on one server with different limits?

[Rob905]

I was wondering if it was possible to run two carts on the same server and maybe create a splash screen that will direct the customer to the cart of their choice.

I'm thinking that if this is possible, I can set the second card up with limitations that first cart doesn't need, since they can't be mixed on the same cart and there is no MOD available to do what I need.

Can be same server but usually not same account if you intend on employing secure SSL transactions for both
One account=one dedicated IP address=one SSL Certificate

Or are you not talking about a different domain name and only want 2 carts each in a folder using the same domain name??

It would be the same domain using the same shared SSL certificate from the ISP

I found a mod that will enable a restriction on the number of products bought, but the drawback is that it is global settings.

I just need a limit on certain items to be set to 12 and can't do that in the current cart because other items can be shipped in singles or 12's (or any other qty.)

If I were to copy this cart and put it in say the ~/zencart directory and turn on the limit in the admin panel and set it to 12 then I would have 1 cart for the products that can be sold by any number and the second cart that would handle the items that can only be sold in 12's

That's MY logic but not being a programmer....

I just want the client to be able to sell most of his items online and not have to deal with a lot of extra email and/or phone calls to get the order.

I've also posted a message in the Help wanted section to get an idea what it would cost to create mod like that.
I've seen messages from two people that have attemtped to create such a mod but both have said theirs wasn't ready for release.

Thanks again for the speedy response, I'm on a deadline with this site and this is the only hold-up.
