Hi all,
I have a requirement to install another, completely separate, instance of GLPI onto our existing GLPI server. It would use its own MySQL database and be totally independent.
It would not be running in a VM or under a separate apache instance or anything like that. It would not have any OCS integration.
Are there any issues with doing this? Is it possible? Is there anything I need to be aware of before starting this?
I have a feeling this has been asked before but I honestly couldn't seem to dig it out via the forum search.
Thanks in advance

I'm doing this for years ... No issue.
You should customize your css on each instance in order to avoid mistakes. ;-)

You can use the same apache too. Configure different virtualhosts for each instance, or, at least, give them a different path.

Hi,
I Know this is an old post but, I'm quite young with GLPI and I'm facing the exact same situation...And as far as I could dig into the posts, this one seamed perfect.
I was wondering if there was a particular way to do this kind of multiple installation, actually, what could be the correct way to do this ?

Hi Lewis,
1. Create a new MySQL DB
2. Create a new folder in your web server (typically, on ubuntu/debian, you could create a /var/www/html/glpi_2 folder.
3. Extract the GLPI installation files in the folder you created at step 2.
4. In your web server configuration, create a new virtual host pointing to the folder you created at step 2.
5. Browse to the URL associated with the virtual host you created at step 4.
The goal is to have two DB and two separated roots folder for your GLPI installation.

Just a small remark - in case You'd be trying to clone the existing installation please remember to change the db connection under /config/config_db.php, otherwise it would point to the same database and may create some unwanted surprises...
