You don't need two installations if you go multisite. That's the whole point of multisite: you have one installation using different databases per domain. Essentially, multisite is just a way to simplify maintenance by consolidating multiple sites into one codebase. Sites can share some or all modules, some or all themes. You need to read up on this at

Hi I ve read a bit about multi site installation, but still i am not so sure about how to go: I ll have basically 2 "twin sites" each referring to a different island in the same archipelago, the structure both on content management and on the theme graphic will be the same but all content will be different and i d like to have the 2 sites on 2 different databases. first site: www.mysite.com/islandx second site: www.mysite.com/islandy of course at www.mysite.com there will be an island chooser considering i ll have to change details on the future i d like to have the 2 sites using the same theme and the same module folder although i think i need 2 different installations (to get the 2 contents on 2 different databases) It s clear to me how to have a site using different themes but not really the other way round.. Any hint is welcome Simone
