View source for Installing multiple LabTrove instances

It is possible to install {{LabTrove Product}} in such as way that you can have several separate {{LabTrove Instance}}s on a single Web Server on a single machine. You can use the same method to have the {{LabTrove Instance}} available as a section on an existing website. The {{LabTrove Instance}} appears to be located in a sub-directory of the main site.
Follow the instructions in this section to add the {{LabTrove Instance}} to a path.
===Setting up the configuration file===
You must set up the '''blog_path''' property in the {{LabTrove Instance}} configuration file:
# Run the following command to open the {{LabTrove Instance}} configuration file:
##<code>nano config.php</code>
# Edit the configuration file to change the '''$ct_config['blog_path']''' to ''/some-path/'' where some-path is the location where you want the {{LabTrove Instance}} to be displayed.
===Changing the Apache Web Server configuration===
Use the following instructions to add the {{LabTrove Instance}} site to the Apache Web Server configuration:
# Run the following command to open the Apache Web Server configuration file: <code>nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/example.labtrove.org</code>, where example.labtrove.org is the location of your {{LabTrove Instance}}.
# If you have already set up a single instance with URLs like ''http://example.labtrove.org/'', the file should look something like this:
  <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
       ServerName example.labtrove.org
       DocumentRoot /home/www/hosts/example.labtrove.org/docs
       <Directory />
               Options FollowSymLinks
               AllowOverride None
       </Directory>
       <Directory /home/www/hosts/example.labtrove.org>
               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
               AllowOverride All
               Order allow,deny
               allow from all
       </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>
If you want to hosts two sites with URLs that look like '''http://example.labtrove.org/first-site/''' and ''http://example.labtrove.org/second-site/''', where the Labtrove docs/ folder for these are at '''/home/www/hosts/first-site/docs/''' and '''/home/www/hosts/second-site/docs/''' you will need change the file to the following.  (Changes are highlighted in bold).
  <VirtualHost *:80>
       ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
       ServerName example.labtrove.org
       DocumentRoot '''/home/www/hosts'''
       <Directory />
               Options FollowSymLinks
               AllowOverride None
       </Directory>
       '''Alias /first-site/ /home/www/hosts/first-site/docs/'''
       '''<Directory /home/www/hosts/first-site/docs>'''
               '''Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews'''
               '''AllowOverride All'''
               '''Order allow,deny'''
               '''allow from all'''
       '''</Directory>
       '''Alias /second-site/ /home/www/hosts/second-site/docs/'''
       '''<Directory /home/www/hosts/second-site/docs>'''
               '''Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews'''
               '''AllowOverride All'''
               '''Order allow,deny'''
               '''allow from all'''
       '''</Directory>'''
  </VirtualHost>
After reloading Apache, (sudo service apache2 reload), you should have two separate {{LabTrove Instance}}s hosted at: 
* http://example.labtrove.org/first-site/
* http://example.labtrove.org/second-site/
If you try to access just '''http://example.labtrove.org/''' you will most likely get a forbidden page.  If you want, you could add a landing page by writing an html page in '''/home/www/hosts/index.html'''
