Hello everyone

I want to know if it is possible to install gallery2 following way

1.I have my main domain hosted say www.mydomain.com
2.I install the Gallery2 on www.mydomain.com/gallery
3.I use a domain pointer say www.anotherdomain.com on the gallery folder

so that it can feels like its a another website

you may ask why i need to do all that? and i hope i am not the first doing that....

because i use my main domain for my personal use and i want to use a gallery for my family photos

so i want other family members and friends to visit the gallery directly without passing through my personal website

in sort i want to give it a feel like they are 2 different websites

i dont know if it is possible anybody did it before?
what modifications need to make in that case? also is that affect in futur upgrades etc.

thanks all of you for helping me with this

Thanks to all those great peoples who make open source.

Are they on the same server/filesystem?
then I guess http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Modules:multiroot will do or perhaps:
http://codex.gallery2.org/Gallery2:Multisite

hello again

i just found out what i was doing wrong

lets see it again may be that can help someone eles

1. i have one hosting account with 110GB
2. my hosting is with my main domain by default say www.mydomain.com
3. my main domain dont take lots of place of 110 gb
4. i decided to make a photo album for my familly and kids
5. i want to give it another domain say www.mygallery.com
6. so i make a directory called mygallery and used the domain pointer to point on that directory.
7. i installed the gallery2 in that folder this way www.mygallery.com/gallery2
8. Everything is working even the SEF_URLS

the error was instead of installing it www.mygallery.com/gallery2 this way

i was installing it this way www.mygallery.com/

i mean gallery needs the /gallery2 folder when you install you can not install it in root folder

thanks anyway
