How to setup two sites with one DB?

[Gadget_Guy]

Hi,

I want to re-brand my site eventually but I want to do it over a period of time to help the current users "ease into the idea" of a name change.

I have the domain, I have the hosting and a new style created for the rebrand.

I would ideally like to run two simultaneous sites one with the current look and feel and the new one with the new look and feel.

I will buy a 2nd vBulletin license for the new site so that everything is legit.

What I do want to do is have both sites use the same database so that both site's content is identical just the domain name and look and feel is different with a new domain name as well.

Then I can choose a point in time (Maybe a year from now) to finally take the original one off line.

Is something like this possible?

What will I need to do to make it happen?

Thanks,

D.

Just use the same database details in the config file to get the content and member list identical, although I'm not sure about the styling because the changes made to one forum will affect the other. I'm sure it's possible but without having two sites running off one database in front of me I can't say.
