one of those days, I wanna find out on this. One short Question: Does it really somehow 'file-lock', if multiple 'Tasks' are done with/on the same item?

if($config{flock}){ 
	flock(FILE,2); 
	seek(FILE,0,2); 
	}

I meant, how does OC avoid a DB-Collision, if an item is called/ordered/processed, possibly exactly at the same time. Under Perl, Db-Access is 'file-locked', in such a Case, for a second or so, to avoid it to be 'editable' by more than one User at once in order to prevent a 'Collision'.

Code: Select all

if($config{flock}){ 
	flock(FILE,2); 
	seek(FILE,0,2); 
	} 

Is this done in any way in OC, or, how does handle OC such 'things'?

i want to run 3 or 4 different websites IE, http://www.site1.com, http://www.differentsite.com, http://www.anothersite.com

i do NOT want sub domains, each shop will have its own exclusive domain but all on the same server / host

they will all sell exactly the same products with the same item descriptions etc

the reason i wnat more than one site selling same stuff is because i want to use different skins / themes for each site
