Set a config option to allow me to use multiple sites local

I use Uniform Server to test and develop joomla sites.

localhost/sitea

localhost/siteb/

etc

 

within the joomla config though the host is given as just localhost for all the sites.

if i set the host as lcoalhost/sitea then the database connection dies...

 

this is what I could use some help to understand...so in a way I guess joomla is using the host value to connect to the db - but when i created the db it was created using phpmyadmin kind of out of the box...

 

where do i make the changes...the site works apart from images specified like

 

/images/test.jpeg as this should be here /sitea/images/test.jpg

 

so I want the root of each site to be the sites root not localhost root...

 

I hope this helps explain better

Each Joomla site requires a separate folder and database.

 

1) Create folder www/sitea – Your first Joomla site

2) Create folder www/siteb – Your second Joomla site

 

Each of these folders (sites) requires a corresponding database.

Using phpMyAdmin

1) Create a database named sitea – First Joomla database

2) Create a database named siteb – Second Joomla database

 

Note: Since these are test Joomla sites no need to create a separate user or password for the databases use user root and password root when requested during Joomla installation.

 

Installation - sitea:

 

1) Unzipped Joomla full package and copy to folder www/sitea

Type localhost/sitea/ the installer (for your first Joomla site ) starts

Follow installation instructions, for MySQL server use

 

Database Type: mysql

Host Name: localhost

Username: root

Password: root

Database Name: sitea

 

After installation site access:

* Site address: http://localhost/sitea/

* Admin address: http://localhost/sitea/administrator/

 

Installation - siteb:

 

2) Unzipped Joomla full package and copy to folder www/siteb

Type localhost/siteb/ the installer (for your second Joomla site ) starts

Follow installation instructions, for MySQL server use

 

Database Type: mysql

Host Name: localhost

Username: root

Password: root

Database Name: siteb

 

After installation site access:

* Site address: http://localhost/siteb/

* Admin address: http://localhost/siteb/administrator/

 

The following although a little dated is worth reading:

All the best
