></H1
><P
>The previous instructions referred to a standard installation, with
one unique Bugzilla database. However, you may want to host several
distinct installations, without having several copies of the code. This is
possible by using the PROJECT environment variable. When accessed,
Bugzilla checks for the existence of this variable, and if present, uses
its value to check for an alternative configuration file named
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>localconfig.&#60;PROJECT&#62;</TT
> in the same location as
the default one (<TT
CLASS="filename"
>localconfig</TT
>). It also checks for
customized templates in a directory named
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>&#60;PROJECT&#62;</TT
> in the same location as the
default one (<TT
CLASS="filename"
>template/&#60;langcode&#62;</TT
>). By default
this is <TT
CLASS="filename"
>template/en/default</TT
> so PROJECT's templates
would be located at <TT
CLASS="filename"
>template/en/PROJECT</TT
>.</P
><P
>To set up an alternate installation, just export PROJECT=foo before
running <B
CLASS="command"
>checksetup.pl</B
> for the first time. It will
result in a file called <TT
CLASS="filename"
>localconfig.foo</TT
> instead of
<TT
CLASS="filename"
>localconfig</TT
>. Edit this file as described above, with
reference to a new database, and re-run <B
CLASS="command"
>checksetup.pl</B
>
to populate it. That's all.</P
><P
>Now you have to configure the web server to pass this environment
variable when accessed via an alternate URL, such as virtual host for
instance. The following is an example of how you could do it in Apache,
other Webservers may differ.
