Remember you are not limited to one Joomla! 1.5 installation on our Personal Hosting Package you can use alternative database pre-fixes in a single MySQL database.
How it works
Joomla! 1.5 defaults to using a database prefix of jos_ which means that it will prefix each database table with jos_ so the table components becomes jos_components. When you go through the installation process you can change the database prefix you want to use. So if you want to install 2 instances of Joomla! 1.5 in your Personal hosting account you can.
For example:
- Install Joomla! 1.5 in the root of your webspace (/public_html)
- During the installation allow it to use the default prefix jos_
- Rename the /installation folder to /installation_done
- Create a new folder to hold your 2nd copy of Joomla! 1.5, lets say /test
- Copy your files from /public_html to public_html/test
- Rename the /installation_done folder to /installation and delete configuration.php in the /test folder.
- In your browser go to your /test folder and resinstall Joomla!
- Enter the same MySQL database credentials except use a new database prefix, say tst_
So now you have 2 Joomla! 1.5 installations using a single databse.
SEF Support
Our hosting packages all support mod_rewrite which is essential to using all of the Search Engine Friendly features in Joomla! 1.5, all you need to do is ensure you have the appropriate .htaccess file in the root folder of your Joomla install. You can copy the htaccess.txt file that is installed in the Joomla! root folder if you are not sure.
