Multiple-Site Configuration

Sparkblender

Is it possible to install AwareIM in a multiple-site configuration, where all sites access the same information locally, but database is synchronized between these installations at regular intervals?

Yes, it is possible to do this, but you will have to syncronize the databases manually or write a program to do it automatically.

What would be the typical architecture and components involved in such a solution?

Thanks.

You have to use a third party database sync app like Navicat or create AwareIM processes to have your database ( MySql like ) up to date.

Sparkblender,

I always thought the use of a third party app to sync these local databases should only be used where the local databases were to be read only as the chance of creating multiple rows with the same primary key from each location would be to high . . . . unless AIM makes this impossible, which I don't think it will.

If this is purely for development fair enough use Navicat, it works great. Mysql does have replication and cluster services for a more robust solution but it comes at a cost and may be a mind F$#k to configure if you have no experience.
