Topic: cakePHP help..

[jaay]

I am real confused and need some help. Here is the problem …

I have a Wordpress blog on a top domain say example.com. Now, I am planning to build an application in cakePHP and put it in a sub domain, say for example,  subdomain1.example.com. Till this it’s fine. But the problem is that I need to have another application that will reside in subdomain2.example.com. Now, if I was using cakePHP in the top level domain I could have used the same installation of cakePHP to build both the applications.  But is there a way to set up two different apps in two different sub domains like the way I just explained. And what are negatives if I use two different cake installations in two diff sub domain to create the two apps? Is there any turnaround, except for moving the WP blog from the top domain and putting cake there?

I could really use some advice here. Thank you.

If you have to access outside of the document root there is no reason not to use just 1 install of the cake core files.  You will still need 2 app folders, one for each site, but both config files will point to the cake php core files.
