I want to create a master website that will hold multiple subsites for my clients. If someone could just let me know, before I spend days learning PostNuke, whether or not it can do the following, it will be greatly appreciated:

1. Create multiple subwebsites
2. Allow both the client-owner of a subsite and myself, as super-admin, to control content on each subsite.
3. Provide a uniform menu across the master site and all subsites to allow navigation throughout the entire website from any location. I want visitors to be able to return to the master site from any subsite at any time.

Thanks for any help.

yes, it's possible and quite easy. I myself have multisites.

Postnuke.com (which is this site) itself have sub/multisites

http://www.entelite.com <-- PostNuke user site
[ System Server ]
Operating system: Linux
Kernel version: 2.4.20-19.7
Apache version: 1.3.28 (Unix)
PERL version: 5.006001
PHP version: 4.3.2
MySQL version: 4.0.15-standard

Thanks, now I can learn PostNuke, without worrying about whether I will hit a blind alley.

these multisites use the same member list? and same boards?

They can share the same database, so, yes they can use the same memberlist...

I have a site using PostNuke which works fine but also want to create another site that uses all the same database for the forum, users etc but had a separate theme and so I can use totally different sections and just have a link to it on my main site.

Does anyone have an idiots guide on how to set this up, or can tell me on here in simple terms (non-techy) how to go about setting one up.

I tried before by downloading my site and reuploading into a subdirectory but got myself totally lost in what needs relinking back to the original database etc etc.

I'm not up on PHP scripting or anything.

I havent been able to make multisites work yet.. but I have only spent afew hours on it.

Ok I read that thing and tried to follow it.....I think I did all it said but........still have no idea what to do......its not done a thing apart from make me copy and edit a few files

How do I get multisites working! I only want a subsite using a subdomain, I was going to install PostNuke from scratch again into this folder but i want it using the exact same database just to have a different theme and content.

As I said, im not techy and that help file didnt help me

Also when i tried to install another PostNuke it kept saying database connection error.......so would rather have a simpler way....preferably explained simply unlike that help file! lol
