    Hello,

    Can I point multiple domains to the same installation of EE2 and do this with one license without purchasing the MSM Add-on?

    I plan to setup this structure:
    - example.com
    - example.fr/fr/
    - example.ch/fr/
    - example.ca/fr/
    - example.ca/en/

    So the content would be the same across all domains but the settings different. On the .fr website would be the prices in Euro but on the .ca website in CAD. On .fr can be only selected French as language but on .ca French or English.

    I know that it produces duplicate content but the main thing is that each page targets a different user group.

    Is this setup technically possible with one EE2 license?

    I pointed now different URLs to the same installation but the issue is that the menu links are based on the domains defined for the site. Example: The site is setup for domain example.com and I point example.ca to the same installation. All menu links on example.ca are using example.com rather than example.ca. Does anyone has a solution for this? Is it possible to use only relative paths or to query the domain on which the user currently is to use it in the menu links?

    Hi Philip,

    I would suggest using relative links and that should get you most of the way there. let us know if that works for you. there is a good few techniques on Multi Language in our Wiki too that may help. More here
