how to set up a new site?

Tuesday 03 July 2007 1:05:21 am

Based on the tutorial and instructions on how to set up a new site on page : http://ez.no/ezpublish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/creating_the_tscm_site

I have problems accessing the previous site – the site the new site settings are based on.

<b>Is there any documentation on how to set up a new site? </b>

I have tried to follow the path as described on the TSCM tutorial. The new site is up and running, I guess, but accessing the old site which the new one is based on gives error. error kernel 20. Module not found.

I guess there are more settings to alter than whats described in TSCM when we want a second or third site in one installation?

- I am using the same database. Is that OK or should there be one database per site.
- The same site url is used in the site.ini.apped.php in siteaccesfolders for the new and old site (bad gutfeeling on this one..)

SiteList is an array, so should be like this:
SiteList[]
SiteList[]=first_site
SiteList[]=second_site

also there is a third setting for setting witch site access is related to witch:
[SiteAccessSettings]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=first_site
RelatedSiteAccessList[]=second_site

You can read more about this settings in the doc:

<b>
I would deeply recomend more taskoriented descriptions instead of mostly definitions of parameters.</b>

Absolutely.
I have many joomla/mambo installations... and I am trying to move to ezpublish so I can take advantage of its benefits but it is getting really hard to accomplish some things. Doing a multisite configuration is not easy to understand, at least for the newbies in this software as myself.

A tutorial/howto covering this and other matters would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

Yes, I would try to make a duplicate of the database the setupwiz made during setup of the "plain_site". Then select that new base in those setupfiles.

I would also tryout the mysqlscripts I read about in the manual configuration. The one that prepares a database with the right tables and such.

ok. Thanks for the help so far :) I feel I understand some more now than a couple of weeks ago. I will dive more into ez later. Looks like the rain is comming...means holliday :/
