[TYPO3] Options for hosting multiple sites - revisited ...

[Johannes Reichardt]

Hi,

i am not very expirienced in this matter but the multipage option is 
more intended for administrating your own sites. So in your special case 
a straight separated symlink setup would be the best option i think - 
that way you have everything in place and no inteferences if you want to 
change something for a user.
