Multiple SnipSnap Instances

Prerequisites

1. SnipSnap installed (follow default install/setup)
2. Invent a prefix for new instance. The prefix is just like a context path in a web application, but handled by SnipSnap itself.
3. Write down the installation key told to you by SnipSnap:

SnipSnap 0.5.2a

>> Loading: / (SnipSnap, http://<yourhost>:<yourport>)
>> Installation key: eeb8b
>> Loaded 1 instances (0 not configured).

Installation of a new Instance

1. Logout from SnipSnap
2. Open the URL http://<yourhost>:<yourport>/admin/configure?prefix=/foo
3. Enter the installation key (if you are not asked you have not logged off)
4. Follow the Setup Wizard

Important Note for Proxy Users

If you are using the Apache as proxy method you may not be able to access the new instances via the proxy set up for the main instance. This means, http://yourdomain.com/ works fine, but http://yourdomain/foobar will not work and redirect you to the main instance.

A workaround is to either setup a new proxy configuration that directly access the new instance:

<VirtualHost ...>
  ProxyPass / http://<server>:<port>/foobar
  ProxyPassReverse / http://<server>:<port>/foobar
</VirtualHost>

… or set the context path of that instance to the prefix:

app.real.path=/prefix
