Hi -
Ok so, I have seen a few posts on how to attach a content db to a web application. My question is slightly different.
I am coming from a legacy Microsoft CMS background, where when we created a CMS Site with a content database, we could attach the "same" database to a different web application. So 2 web applications pointing to the same content database. This was
done to provide a safe way to allow content publishers to publish content on a different application (port/url) than the URL that was exposed to public. This is in inernet website scenario.
Can we accomplish this in SharePoint 2013. I receive an error
Mount-SPContentDatabase : A SharePoint database named WSS_Content_xxx already exists. You must supply another name for the new database.
