Multiple databases / mandants

Hi,

is it possible to use multiple databases in one glpi environment ?

company 1 = database1
company 2 = database2
and so on ?

One solution would be to use servereal glpi-installations on the same server....
Is there an easier way ?

Greetings, Andy.

What would be interest of this ?

Does Entities are not enough to handle various enterprise ?

I use a "glpi/config/config_path.php" solution for this purpose, containing something like :

<?php
if (strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"glpi1")==1) {
define("GLPI_CONFIG_DIR",     "/etc/glpi/1");
} else if (strpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"glpi2")==1) {
define("GLPI_CONFIG_DIR",     "/etc/glpi/2");
} else {
define("GLPI_CONFIG_DIR",     "/etc/glpi/3");
}
?>

And each /etc/glpi/?/config_db.php give database parameters.

Remi.

Remi, I didn't saw the entity-feature in glpi. Now I found it. Sounds great.

The alternate way of using config_path is also a good idea.

Thank You.
Andy.
