Supporting multiple communities?
Can multiple yacs sites be set up on one server?
Withdrawn - I've just found suitable answers on the Usage forum.

Anyway, the answer is definitely YES

Bernard:OK, I was going to follow the advice to the pet society to set up sections for each community. If I prefer to have separate sites for each community how would I set it up? Thanks. |

Adivo: Well, it depends. How would you define what a community is? And are you considering some common content or not? |

Bernard:I am trialling yacs for small communities around my organisation, so it is an intranet solution of sorts. An example of membership groups would be those people who have attended our management development training course or another for the sports society. Content would not be common, but users would be. Ideally I could change user authentication to use our Active Directory. p.s. I'm having a problem with user authentication. Replying to the confirmation email for a new user id gets a reponse that registration is successful, but the user login gets rejected. |

Adivo: If you have an intranet of some sort, you may want to avoid creating silos between your own staff. My advice to you would be to have one single user database (that may evolve to LDAP or AD in the future, if someone shows me how to proceed) and sections specialized by content. If you provide links to your users that let them jump in directly within sections that interest them, you have done. For me the assumption you are making is that people are browsing a web site top down, starting from the front page. Therefore the need to mask areas of poor interest to them. But actually the most straightforward way to drive people at the right place may be to send them an e-mail message with a link to click. With this in mind, cross-section visibility at the front page is not a threat, but a strength. Lastly, if you have provided confidential information throug a very special training, you can list attendees as editors of the related section to ensure only them will be gated in. |

Bernard:Thank you, I will continue to set up sections as you suggest. I'm still having problems with user authentication as mentioned in a previous post, I get the "We are very sorry, but..." message. Can you suggest what to look for to resolve this problem? I suspect it may be another function that I have not enabled in my PHP5 installation. |

Adivo: Have you put spaces or special chars in your password? If yes, try again with a simpler password. |

Bernard:No, but I seem to have resolved it as a by-product of fixing something else. I have recently enabled mbstring and mcrypt in my php.ini so it may have been that. Are there any more extensions that I should be enabling? |

Adivo: on the dev machine, only gd2 and mbstring PHP extensions have been activated. Thank for the tip, I had never pay attention to the mbstring stuff previously. |
