Can I combine Boost and Multi-site?
neoliminal - October 31, 2007 - 15:14
I am combining a collection of sites, some are Drupal sites and some are static sites. Eventually some of the static sites would like to transition to Drupal functions (forums or blogs, for example).
My challenge is this:
1) Can I combine static and Drupal Template sites in Multi-Site?
2) Is Boost a compatible way to make a static site in Multi-Site?
3) Is there a better solution for installing static sites in a Multi-Site environment?
4) Any other advice on this project.
Yes, but I haven't tested it yet
Just to say that the README clearly says that it works fine in a multi-site environment.

It says its multisite
It says its multisite capable, not its not. You have to enter a cache file path in the performance config. E.g. cache/www.domain1.com. However, I have multisites with domain2.com and domain3.com. Sadly, boost uses cache/www.domain1.com for all cache files, as it does not recognize these different domains... The documentation is actually very unclear on how to make it work on multisite.

Interesting comment
I think this is the 3rd time I said that Boost module makes my site crawls to the ground. Cache Router however, boost my site.
I have multi-site setup, so maybe that is because I didn't set it up properly for multi-site.
Site slow with boost
Would you mind giving more details into why this is happening?
I am sorry. I can not give you more detail
I don't remember exactly as that happened a few months back and I didn't really do debugging instead of just enabled and disabled Boost module several times to see the effect.
As far as I remember, I did setup the cache folder per domain and the static files were created on cache folder of each of the sites. What don't like is that Boost created a lot of symbolic links to the pages which URL aliases I have already set the to *.html. That is all I remember. Sorry.
That was alpha1
If your willing, a beta 1 version should be out by the end of the week. Boosts code base has dramatically improved since alpha 1; which you were probably running. Since alpha 3 it no longer uses symlinks among some other changes.
Thanks Mike, I'll try that later
Thanks Mike.
At the moment the Switchtheme module still looks cool to me, but all the caching modules including Boost and Cache Router will break it. So I will try Boost later when I am bored using Switchtheme or the caching function support on Switchtheme will be implemented.
