Running multiple websites

2021-09-16T07:31:33Z

Allys:

It's definitely possible to run multiple websites on a single ULYSSIS account. So you do not need to buy a new account to run a secondary website on. Very often this is used for running a wiki installation together with a WordPress installation, but in fact you can combine almost any CMS (like WordPress, Drupal or Joomla) or software. This is also called 'running multiple instances'.

As an example: You have a primary WordPress installation on youroganization.be, but beside that you would also like a blog that runs on Joomla. By following this guide, you can have a main WordPress installation while also having a separate blog on blog.yourorganization.be . The "blog." of this URL is also called a subdomain. If you would like more information regarding subdomains and what they can be used for, you can visit [https://www.domain.com/blog/2019/01/15/subdomain/ this] website.

So to run multiple installations on your website, you will need to follow a few steps:

First of all, you will need access to one of our shell servers. If you need more information on how to do this, you can visit the following page: [[Accessing your files]].

Continuing, we need to make a new directory in your home folder, preferably next to the <code>www</code> folder where you installed the software that is running on your main website. It is also possible to install the new software to a new directory inside your <code>www</code>, but we do not recommend this for most users because it will be very confusing for later maintenance and updates. We also recommend to name the new directory to something obvious (e.g. a directory named <code>wiki</code> for a wiki installation), this will help future maintainers of your account.

Next, you will need to send us an email at ulyssis@ulyssis.org to connect the newly made directory to your subdomain. The information you need to send us is: the '''path''' to the new directory (often this will look something like this: /home/user/<your_username>/<name_of_the_directory>), and the '''subdomain''' you want this website to run on (e.g. blog.yourorganization.be).

When you receive a reply back from us that everything is in order, you will need to follow the steps from https://docs.ulyssis.org/Setting_up_WordPress, https://docs.ulyssis.org/Setting_up_Joomla, https://docs.ulyssis.org/Setting_up_Drupal or something else. This depends on what software you are planning to install on the new subdomain. While running the setup for your software, make sure to you install it to the '''right directory''', and adjust the configurations where needed.

If you have made edits to the .htaccess file for your website in the past, be cautious as it may interfere with your new installation on the subdomain.

When everything is complete, you should now have another website running at e.g. <chosen_subdomain>.yourorganization.be .

If you have further questions or problems regarding the guide above, do not hesitate to contact us.

Maintaining the software of your website is crucial to ensure everything remains operational and secure. Performing regular updates is an important part of this maintenance. Beyond fixing security bugs, updates of WordPress, as well as its plugins and themes, may introduce new useful features and guarantees that no problems arise when we upgrade our servers.

While consistently applying updates has many benefits, the most important aspect for you as an account holder is of course that the information on your website is secure and that your visitors can safely visit your website. We therefore advise and strongly encourage all users to completely enable automatic updates within WordPress. This way, you no longer need to perform updates yourself, but the entire process will be automated. The instructions within this manual primarily focus on how to fully enable automatic updates, but you can also find instructions on manual updates here. Do keep in mind that security issues, especially in popular plugins or WordPress itself, are often exploited by cybercriminals within a few days after the release of a fix.

== Automatic updates ==
In order to enable automatic updates, you will need to log in to your site's WordPress admin dashboard. This is also where you create and edit your pages. If you can't find an admin or login link on your website itself (often at the bottom of any page), you can simply add /wp-admin behind the main URL of your website.

=== Automatic updates for WordPress ===
* Go to '''Dashboard''' at the upper left of the screen and go to '''updates'''.
* Toggle ''<nowiki/>'Enable automatic updates for all new versions of WordPress'''. If your automatic updates are already turned on, you will see ''This site is automatically kept up to date with each new version of WordPress''.
[[File:Enable WordPress updates.png|frameless|500x500px|alt=|center]]

=== Automatic updates for plugins ===
* Navigate to '''Plugins''' in the left sidebar and select '''Installed plugins'''.
* In the dropdown menu select '''Enable Auto-updates'''.
* Check the boxes next to the plugins you want to update automatically.
[[File:Auto updates for plugins.png|frameless]]
* Press '''Apply''' next to the previously mentioned dropdown menu.
* Do not forget to enable automatic updates every time you install a new plugin.

=== Automatic updates for themes ===
* Navigate to '''Appearance''' in the left sidebar and select '''Themes'''.
* Click on the theme thumbnail and select ''<nowiki/>'Enable auto-updates'''. This must be done for each theme separately.
[[File:Auto-update themes.png|center|frameless|781x781px]]

* Do not forget to enable automatic updates every time you install a new theme.

== Manually updating WordPress, plugins and themes ==
We still do not recommend updating manually as it is more time consuming and a bigger security risk. The following steps are only for updating plugins, but you can perform manual updates for themes and for WordPress itself in a similar way on the respective sections of the updates page.
* Pending updates will be displayed as a notification in the left bar of the interface.
[[File:Needed updates .png|frameless]]

Maintaining the software of your website is crucial to ensure everything remains operational and secure. Making sure to perform updates on a regular basis is an important part of that. Beyond fixing security bugs, updates of WordPress as well as its plugins and themes, may introduce new useful features and ensures that no problems arise when we upgrade our servers every two years.

While consistently applying updates has many benefits, the most important aspect for you as an account holder and ULYSSIS as the server maintainer is of course that the information on your website is safe and that your visitors can safely visit your website. We therefore advise that all users enable full updating automation within WordPress. This way, you no longer need to perform updates yourself, but the entire process will be automated. The instructions within this manual primarily go into how to fully automate the process, but you can also find instructions on manual updates. Do keep in mind that security issues, especially in popular plugins or WordPress itself, are often exploited by cybercriminals within a few days after the release of a fix.

It is very important to keep your website and plugins up to date.. Not updating a WordPress website or its plugins can lead to safety risks.

The updates can be automated manually or automatically. Automatic updates are very easy as there is no need to update daily or at least weekly. If you were to update it manually, this would be the case. It is also safer as WordPress is often at risk only a few days after each update. Keeping it up to date avoids security risks, sometimes regarding cybercriminals, and ensure your own safety.
