cristiano tomasi	Thursday 10 November 2005 8:02:03 am Hi I'm a newbie of ezPublish and I followed the procedure described by lazaro (thanks a lot lazaro). I just would like to add some hint that are not eveident in the answer and maybe could help newbie like me (NOTE! I'm using ezPublis 3.7.0 on windows XP) 1) After you have created the second_site_database you must populate it running the 2 scripts kernel_schema.sql cleandata.sql exactly in this order, you can find the scripts in the <ezpublishfolder>\ezpublish\kernel\sql 2) when you enter your new web site "second_site_admin" you should know that the defalut user is "admin" and the defalut passowrd is "publish" bye Cris.
Daniele Gubert	Saturday 10 December 2005 9:48:25 pm Please note that cleandata.sql loads eng-GB content and this breaks it all if you've set up a different language. You need to issue a couple of SQL updates in the DB to fix this, as described in the "Manual configuration of eZ publish" document. SQL command #1: UPDATE ezcontentobject_name SET content_translation='nor-NO', real_translation='nor-NO' WHERE content_translation='eng-GB' OR real_translation='eng-GB'; SQL command #2: UPDATE ezcontentobject_attribute SET language_code='nor-NO' WHERE language_code='eng-GB'; Ciao, :DTM.
