# Clients ILIAS 4.X

In this tutorial you will learn how to add more clients to ILIAS 4.X on shared hosting that is
using cPanel.

Install a 2nd client

Ilias supports multiple sites with different database running on the same source code. This
concept is called clients.

First we will need to setup a second database.

Access your cPanel.

Databases offer a method for managing

large amounts of information easily over the
web. They are necessary to run many web-
based applications such as bulletin boards,
content management systems, online retail
shops and learning management systems.
To create the database: In the New Database
field, type a name for the database. Click
Create Database.

Click Go Back.

The new database will appear in the Current

Databases table.
After you create the database, you will need
to add users and their privileges so that the
database can be filled and managed. Please
note that MySQL user accounts must be
created separately from mail and web
administrator accounts.
To create a new user account:
1. Under Add New User, enter a
username.
2. Enter a password in the
Password field.
3. Retype the password in the
Password (Again) field.
4. Click Create User.

Click Go Back.
The new user will appear in the Current
Users table. Privileges define how the user is
able to interact with the database. For
example, they will determine whether or not
the user can add and delete information.
To define a user’s privileges:
1. Under Add User to Database,
select a user from the User
drop-down menu.
2. From the Database drop-
down menu, select the
database to which you wish
to allow the user access.
3. Click Add.

From the MySQL Account Maintenance

screen, select the privileges you wish to
grant the user, or select ALL PRIVILEGES.
Click Make Changes.

Click Go Back.
The new database with the assigned user
will appear in the Current Databases table.

Open the ILIAS setup script in your web

browser:
http://www.yourserver.com/ilias/setup/setu
p.php. Login with the master password.

Navigate to the List of Clients, and click on

the create new client button.
You can run on one source multiple
databases, in ILIAS this is concepts is called a
Client. Select the proper database type, as
our hosting is running MySQL 5.0 we can
keep the defaults. Click save.

Fill in the database settings, of the database

you created earlier and Click Save.
Click Next to move to step 2.

Since the database has allready been

created, you must uncheck the Create
Database. Click Install Database.
Click Next to move to step 4.

The interface of ILIAS is available in many

languages. Select the languages that you
want for this client. Click Next to move to
step 4.

Fill in the required contact details.

Click the save button.

Click Next to move to step 5.

You can optionally register your server with

the ILIAS open source community. Click save.
Click finish setup.

Click on the button list of clients.

Click on the enable button to allow users to

select the client they want to connect to.
After all steps are passed you may proceed
to the ILIAS login, either using the [login] link
or by accessing
http://www.yourserver.com/ilias/login.php

Now the user can select the client he wants

to connect to, alternatively you can supply
the client in the url using the client_id as
parameter.
Congratulations
