Using same package and databases for multiple subdomains
-
I may not always understand what I’m doing, but I’m great at following good directions. As a result, even though I still consider myself a newbie, I’ve used Duplicator numerous times to create subdomains for my site, which I use for testing and as a backup for my site. This is the first time I’ve created two at once, which I’d like to be perfect clones of the original.
I don’t have any point of reference for knowing if this question makes sense, as written, so please bear with me:
Can I use the same Duplicator package and installer files, as well as the same new, empty database to create both of those sites? I’m mostly unsure about the database. Do I need a separate new one for each cloned subdomain, or will the installation just fill it in for that site, as I use it. (See? Does that even make sense? lol)
I usually have to manually extract the zipped archive to work around a server timeout issue, so currently I have uploaded copies of the same Dup. files to the newly created subdomains, but haven’t deployed them yet. I want to be sure doing so won’t mess anything up before I do it. I know extracting one of them will be fine; I just don’t understand the dynamics of the MySQL database associated with the Dup. files re a second one.
Cory, let me also say that it’s extremely impressive how you manage and maintain your excellent product. I am constantly mentioning and recommending Duplicator, whenever the opportunity presents itself. Thank you!
