Possibility of making clone of a dolphin installment?

I was wondering if it were possible to clone a Dolphin installment? 

To fully clone msql and website to another place to spare time.

My thought were that it would be so much easier for me to clone a *perfect* dolphin installment in wich i have spend hours configuring.

Is this anyway possible?

Maybe on a Virtual Private Server or dedicated server account in wich you can split up the harddrive? 

Make your thoughts come alive on this issue.

Thanks. 

You'd need to copy over the files to another directory, setup a new database with the contents of the original one, and change the domain, path, and database information in the /inc/header.inc.php file.  Finally, you'll have to clear the cache directories, or else the site will be using incorrect information.

Thank you. That actually sounds a hell lot easier than installing one from fresh.

If you are talking about running dolphin on more then one server to save HD space or bandwith then no (loadbalancing is an option)

Tho one should remember to pay extra for possible scripts and so on if this solution is chosen.

Well, it's certainly possible, but not doable with the default script.  I think AlexT wrote about this a while back...

but not doable with the default script.
Please deepen and clarify because it is now my so far strategy to clone my super dolphin community webpage.

 

You can clone your site as much as you like, but it's the part about using multiple disks that isn't supported in the default script (assuming you mean, e.g., have photos stored on one disk/partition and videos on another).

ok what is it you're trying to do here?

if cloning is all you need to do then NP gave you an answer
 
if you upload a photo to site 1 don't expect the photo to show up on site 2

Yep.  That would require some syncing voodoo that probably isn't worth it.

where do i send the cookies lol..

Okay. Thank you SuperModerator

 

Your local narwhal rescue association.

Can I be UltraPremium?

BannedMember sounds better lol j/k

I could have sworn they were working on a new membership like that...

 :P

By the way guys how do I remove the PromoHeader?

 

The "Hello, admin!" part, or the entire thing?

The entire thing!

index.php
and remove this

$_page_cont[$_ni]['promo_code'] = getPromoCode();

then
\templates\base page_1.html
remove
__promo_code__

Thank you.

Nice to get help from an expert.
