[Xerte-dev] Installing multiple XAMPP installs

[Smith, John]

Hi,

Might be something I've overlooked but when you have an xampp install and you create a new one (for example you have /moodle1_9/xerte/ already setup and you want a new site - /moodle2_0/xerte/) it appears that running /moodle2_0/xerte/setup overwrites (or shares) the same database as the initial install.

Is there an easy way to manage this at present or should we allow this in the interface??

This comes from the whole upload.php issue... in trying to test xerte with 1_9, I appear to have overwritten 2_0 and/or even after initial install of 1_9 it would redirect to moodle2_0 for authentication as that was setup prior to 1_9 setup...

Is there an easy way to do multiple installs like this or could/should we have some options with the "XAMPP INSTALL" button to allow multiple installs?
