Different s9y versions, same database?
Can I use different versions of s9y from the same common database? I will use unique table prefixes for each install, but want to use a single database for different versions, like 1.6, 1.7, 2 stable, and 2 devel.

Hi!
Yes, that's no problem.
ACTUALLY you could even use a single database with a single DB prefix to power MULTIPLE s9y installations with the exact same content / plugin configuration, if you use those installations on distinct subdomains. However that only works properly when the DB structure of those s9y versions is identical, so you should be able to use 2.0 / 2.0.1 / 2.1.0 with an identical database, maybe even 1.7 - but 1.6 will be problematic.

As in sub1.example.com, sub2.example.com? Would example.com/sub1/ and example.com/sub2/ work?garvinhicking wrote:Hi!

No, it would only work when the directories are the same ("/" as on a subdomain).
