Possibilities to use multiple DB's & to split up an EZ Publish installation?

Ronald Kools	Tuesday 08 March 2005 6:09:28 am I have 2 questions, on which I have already found some information, but not quite what I am looking for. As it is rather trivial to have the correct information about this (as we will decide between EZ Publish and Typo3 depending on the result), I hope someone can help me out here. <b>Q1: Is it possible to split a EZ Publish installation?</b> We'd like to secure our admins by moving them to a dedicated server. In other words: the admin of EZ Publish should be installed on a different machine than the frontend. Does anyone know whether this is possible or do we have to install EZ Publish on two machines using the same database and then disable the admin on the machine with the frontend? <b>Q2: Is it possible to use multiple databases?</b> We might want to READ a diffent database than the one you WRITE to. In other words: a SELECT is done on DB 1 while an INSERT is done on DB 2. Is this possible with EZ Publish? Thanks for your answers.

If this question is about security you should try to do a static dump of your website. If this question is about load you should try to use a mysql cluster.

I have 2 questions, on which I have already found *some* information, but not quite what I am looking for. As it is rather trivial to have the correct information about this (as we will decide between EZ Publish and Typo3 depending on the result), I hope someone can help me out here.

<b>Q1: Is it possible to split a EZ Publish installation?</b>

We'd like to secure our admins by moving them to a dedicated server. In other words: the admin of EZ Publish should be installed on a different machine than the frontend. Does anyone know whether this is possible or do we have to install EZ Publish on two machines using the same database and then disable the admin on the machine with the frontend?

<b>Q2: Is it possible to use multiple databases?</b>

We might want to READ a diffent database than the one you WRITE to. In other words: a SELECT is done on DB 1 while an INSERT is done on DB 2. Is this possible with EZ Publish?

Thanks for your answers.

Q1: yes

Q2: Well this is a little complicated since the frontend requires write access for permissions and other stuff too.

If this question is about security you should try to do a static dump of your website.

If this question is about load you should try to use a mysql cluster.
