[Building Sakai] Multiple Sakai installs

[Raad Al-Rawi]

Hi Benjamin

I think the question you are asking is:

Is it possible to run separate instances of Sakai (possibly even 
different versions) on one tomcat install?

Which is different to running Sakai in a multi-node setup for extra 
reliability/performance.

After some (very) quick consideration, I believe the answer is maybe, by 
setting up different instances in separate directories under 
tomcat/webapps and configuring each instance to use a different database 
and tomcat ports.
Apache and mod_jk could possibly hook the different instances into 
different virtual hosts.
Problems might come in around what's in common/components/shared for the 
tomcat - e.g. version clashes for classes etc.

In reality, there's not much difference, in terms of the setup needed, 
between running multiple Sakais on their own tomcat, compared to running 
on a single tomcat - and a single one might not actually work - so 
you're not saving much work.

Like I said - just my quickly considered thoughts. There's probably lots 
wrong with them!

Cheers
