Problem with content display while running multiple umbraco instances sharing same database.
Not sure if this is a bug or expected behaviour because sharing a database is unsupported.
I just installed two umbraco instances running on different IP's. My OS is windows server 2003, running IIS 7 and SQL Server 2008. However, I found recently that the contents of site 2 is appearing on site 1's content section. Both these instances share the same umbraco database.
This happens to the media and members items as well. However the developer and settings section are seperated. When I preview the pages of site 1, the page gets displayed, but macros, links, etc. get broken. Not very pretty behaviour :-)
I was under the impression that different umbraco instances save their state indepenent of each other.
Yes, different umbraco instances run independently of each other, but if you're pointing both umbraco instances to the same umbraco database, well, I guess you get the same content, media and members info in both instances.
Why are you using the same database for two different umbraco instances? If you're having 2 umbraco instances, you should have 2 db's as well.
You can tho have two sites running in the same umbraco instance... but that's a different story you've already told/found in another thread.
