Use case :

I work at an university which some departments want to use LS for their research project. I would like to install LS in a multi-instance mode, one instance for each project. Every instance would share the very same source folder with Front end scripts and admin scripts eg the actual limesurvey folder.

This layout is very much like for example Typo3's installation layout on an Unix.

For now, it seems that we could find a workaround in installing the admin folder outside the limesurvey archive and share it with every instance, but it is not so helpfull because LS puts all files in the same archive. (For example, Typo3 comes with two archives one for the instance folder and one for the source folder).

Following is a layout example :

an instance folder :

/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/config-defaults.php
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/config.php
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/tmp/
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/uploads/
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/uploads/templates
/srv/www/lime-survey-instance1/limesurvey => /usr/local/share/limesurvey


the source folder :

/usr/local/share/limesurvey
/usr/local/share/limesurvey/index.php
...
/usr/local/share/limesurvey/admin
/usr/local/share/limesurvey/admin/admin.php

(sorry for the category but no one fits my needs)
