Duplicate installation's config to another domain

[PCGH]

I am new to WHMCS but am really liking it. I offer web hosting under two separate domains / entities so as I understand it I need a second license which is fine.

 

When I buy my second license, is there a way to copy all of the WHMCS configuration info from the first installation to the second? Then I could just go in and change stuff in a few select spots rather than starting from scratch.

 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Nope, you will need to maintain two installations individually.

Nope, you will need to maintain two installations individually.

 

Thank you for the reply. Yes, I know I will once they are installed. I am wondering though about copying the initial, basic configuration from me to the other. That way I don't have to setup plans, payment methods, registrars, etc twice.

Yes you can certainly do that. It's quite straightforward - you would just need to duplicate the existing install, so copy the files to the new location and copy the database into a new database, connect the new install up to that database, and then you can remove any client specific information from the copy using the SQL queries provided in our docs @ http://docs.whmcs.com/Maintenance

 

Hope that helps.

Perfect, Matt! Worked like a charm - once it donned on me to change the ownership of the files to the second domain.

 

Thank you!

is possible share a database with 2 whmcs installations ?

for 2 different sites ?

No sorry, that's not supported right now.

that is an interesting idea tho, I myself dont need it but their are companys that have sharedhosting.com and reseller hosting .com, the loginshare would be interesting,

 

I understand having multiple licenses, but i agree it should be possible.

 

you could still use 2 databases and use a db sync like vbulletin has a optional backup databse.

It may not be supported but it is possible if the 2 sites are on the same cPanel (one would be an add-on domain)

The only draw back is that whatever products appear on one site will also appear on the other.

 

I know this is possible because when I first got reseller hosting a free whmcs was included. I used it for a while but wanted my own. Shortend the name of our domain, added it as an addon and got my own whmcs. For a while they shared one database till we got everything relocated.

You do have to make sure that the configuration file points to the same database.
