You can run as many scoop sites as you want on one apache and mysql, with one caveat: they all must be using the same codebase. You cannot have multiple versions of scoop running on the same apache, for the mod_perl namespace issue you mention. In each virtualhost when you define the site, you direct the perl handler to the same directory containing the scoop perl modules, and you give each site a unique site_id identifier - this lets apache keep all the cached information straight. (First time I tried two sites on the same apache I didn't know this, and I had blocks from one site showing up on the other site, messing up the page layout.) > Second Question, is this software actively maintained and upgraded since the > last CVS update according to the Scoop site is October of 2006?

A lot of it is on forks, unfortunately, but we're trying to get the more widely useful features back into scoop proper. There has also been work ongoing on Scoop 2, a complete re-architecting of the system. That is nowhere near ready though. -janra
