I agree with the 2 apps in one installation of web2py at minimum. 2 installations of web2py sounds like a maintenance nightmare to me.
Is it possible to write a virtual host so that a certain domain may only see certain controllers in a web2py application? i suspect that it is, but getting the allows and denys tags right for apache might be a pain, though it might be easier to maintain in the long run. Is there any reason that you can't just use web2py groups and access control decorators on the controller functions to restrict access? cfh On Jan 28, 6:41 am, Alexandre Andrade <alexandrema...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think your proposed setup is good, with two virtual hosts. > > I just recomend append "migrate=false" to tables that appear in > example.com(accounts, or auth_user) > > Could be also just apps in one installation of web2py, if you adjust one of > your virtual hosts. > > 2010/1/28 Thadeus Burgess <thade...@thadeusb.com> > > > > > Here are my needs. > > > example.com = public portion of the website.
