It's very simple to just install a second copy of SugarCRM in a separate directory. They can share the same Apache and MySQL servers while maintaining separate file systems and databases.

You would have to add that functionality to SugarCRM so that it would be possible for one install to use differing databases. <br /><br />This is likely to present a number of challenges as the architecture is not designed to be multi-tenant, thus, customizations may be a problem (among other things).<br /><br />Your best course of action would be to have Angel Magañahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09861818705795234299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2219864625861728790.post-34556471763289800372012-03-29T19:04:42.787-07:002012-03-29T19:04:42.787-07:00I am wondering about this questions with a little ...I am wondering about this questions with a little different twist.
