Multiple Sites issue

I'm trying to set up multiple sites. using the same database with different
prefixes but i want the User info to be the same.

So I tried several things, the first thing that came to mind was,
in Site1 config.php

Code:

$dbpass = "pepe";
$dbname = "pepe";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";

On Site2 config

Code:

$dbpass = "pepe";
$dbname = "pepe";
$prefix = "sam";
$user_prefix = "nuke";
$dbtype = "MySQL";

Now I this this should have done the trick in my book, but it doesn't, I get all the same info on both sites, news, comments even a poll vote.

Ok, I did a little more digging around and in the manual it says to change only the user table to different name so here are the codes.. for the configs

Site1 config.php

Code:

$dbpass = "pepe";
$dbname = "pepe";
$prefix = "nuke";
$user_prefix = "wakala";
$dbtype = "MySQL";

Site2 config

Code:

$dbpass = "pepe";
$dbname = "pepe";
$prefix = "sam";
$user_prefix = "wakala";
$dbtype = "MySQL";

This didn't work at all in both sites I would get blank pages.. as if some error somewhere.

Any ideas with this ? I appreciate thanks..

That should be working.
A blank page usually indicates an error. Enable error reporting and check your logs.

Currently using 8.0

But I don't get it though the error occurs when i completely change the user_prefix to different name, If I change it to regular nuke it works

Code:

$prefix = "Sam";
$user_prefix = "nuke";

and if I change it it to this which I just realized

Code:

$prefix = "Sam";
$user_prefix = "Sam";

Original Stuff

I get the message of the Setup administrations

Its sorta off like User-prefix is overriding prefix.. it seems to me..

Also looking down into config i saw this..

Code:

$prefix = empty($user_prefix) ? $prefix : $user_prefix;

Could this be my issue..??

Mmm that's weird. It's code that sets the $prefix to $user_prefix only if $user_prefix is defined. Kinda dumb to me.

Delete that line and it should work then
