Yes you can. You never need more than one web2py installation.
- You can have multiple apps under one web2py installation and map
them ti different vhosts (in this case apache does the mapping)
- You can have one app with multiple layouts depending on the vhosts
but in this case (in this case web2py does the mapping)
- You can have one layout.html and different CSS files depending on
the vhosts
The best way really depends on what the differences are and who is
allowed to edit these differences. Are they set once for all? Do you
need to add more? Are the differences just in color and images or are
they differences in the actual HTML?
have you looked into http://web2py.com/layouts ?
