Running Multiple sites with one core in WHM/cPanel

[MadHatter]

Hello, I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to install one ProcessWire core for multiple sites under WHM/cPanel. When a new domain is set up then a new user is created on the server along with a home directory containing a public_html directory for serving the new site.

I've come to the understanding that the core needs to be web accessible and the only way I can see to do this is to have one core per ProcessWire installation. The other option is to use symlinks but I'm not sure that's possible through cPanel, and we seem to not have shell access on our server (though I'm sure we could ask if needed). This, however, makes setting up new sites a bit of a pain. Another option would be to produce a PHP file to create the symlink for a one-time execution, then delete the file. I'm still not keen on this options but it may be the best solution.

So my question, I suppose, is are there any easier options to run several sites from one core without giving them all the same root directory?

Here are some multisite things to look at, in case you haven't seen them:

Thanks adrian, it looks like I'm going to use symlinks to connect to the core.
