Topic: Free CMS for Multiple Sites
Totage Joined Sat 10/13/07 Posts: 24210	Sat 09/08/12 08:27 PM
I have several websites on several domains. I need a CMS where I can manage each site all in one place. My plan is to move all of my sites onto one server and create different directories for each site, and just point the domain names to the respective dir. What I'm looking for though is a free CMS where I can manage each site on the server. Anyone know of a decent one? If you have a better idea or anything. I'm also open to that.

You should check out Drupal, as it has a multisite setup. There is also something called ModX which might be useful for what you're trying to do, though it is a much more advanced CMS.

Drupal is the worst script out there,I have just spent five hours trying to get the new drupal to work,,, it is not compliant with php 5.4 on my own server. It will be months before it is. concrete is a useless prog... if you just want to do what you say then link all the menu's together from each site. You have not gone into any detail as to why you want a cms Joomla, SMF, WordPress all have cms attributes... You need to define why in more detail... What are the other sites that you have, are they specific programs or just html or php... files If you just want to link them together then create a static html page for each site and add a interlinking menu, then direct those menu links to each site. Be very careful when choosing a CMS; just because it looks good does not mean the support when it goes wrong is good; A lot of CMS are free but the modules cost you an arm and a leg.

You can specify which version of PHP you want to use. As for free and being easy for those with basic skills in php, html, css, sql, javascript, this CMS is actually pretty good. The support is fairly good as well. You just need to know how to go about tweaking a few things. I like Drupal way more than Wordpress... Drupal modules are community maintained and open source. As far as I know, the only ones that charge for their modules are unaffiliated and hosted on sites other than drupal.org.
