Hi,

I have a website running successfully, which already has a lot of modules. What I want to do is now also create groups ..

If I created a subdomain, eg groups.mydomain.com will it better for my sql usage and memory?

Please would you be as detailed as possible :)

1. Will a subdomain be easier on my server? Lighter on sql usage, RAM and memory?
2. Do I create a completely new installation on the subdomain and just add the groups modules?
3. How does the user automatically login in from main site to sub.domain?

How do I set this up please as had a look at sub domain, domain access modules and just don't get it :)

Look forward to any reply, and thank you.
Lilian

Wow. I can't possibly answer all of these questions. In general, you should only use Domain Access if you want to share content across your various sites.

1) No idea.

2) You can't run specific module only on certain domains. If you create a new installation, you're using Drupal multisite, not Domain Access.

3) If you are using subdomains, just set $cookie_domain to '.example.com' and it works automatically. Otherwise, you need the SSO module.

For set up instructions, see INSTALL.txt, which is very detailed.
