Hi,
I´m using WAMP for testing the cms in localhost.
For SEF I have change RewriteBase base to RewriteBase /mysite/
But I need to know how to change this for multisite to work:
RewriteRule ^multisite1/estia/inner.php estia/inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^multisite1/inner.php(.*) inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^multisite1/(.*) $1
Thank you very much

For the "mother site" (the 1st multi-site) you add nothing. You add rewrite rules only for the sub-sites.
Put the .htaccess file inside the Elxis root folder with RewriteBase /mysite/
I advise you not to use sub-folders but virtual hosts.

Thanks datahell,
The main site is working ok, my problem is with second and third multisites:
this lines of code doesn´t work (I get a page not found message):
RewriteRule ^multisite1/estia/inner.php estia/inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^multisite1/inner.php(.*) inner.php [L]
RewriteRule ^multisite1/(.*) $1
How can I change them to work?
For your information, in my list of subsites I have this urls
mysite http://localhost/mysite
lsubsite1 http://localhost/subsite1
Thanks a lot

I believe that you have your Elxis main installation in sub-folder "mysite".
If this is how you see your main site:
http://localhost/mysite/
Then the sub-sites are available like this:
http://localhost/mysite/subsite1/
http://localhost/mysite/subsite2/
etc...
htaccess Rewrite base = /mysite/ in this case
So, I guess your URLs are wrong...
If you have installed Elxis in web server root and you see it like this:
http://localhost/
Then the sub-sites are available like this:
http://localhost/subsite1/
http://localhost/subsite2/
etc...
htaccess Rewrite base = / in this case
-
Thanks for your answer Datahell.
Perhaps it is an issue with multisites when Elxis is installed in a subfolder, can it be?
When I have created the subsite1 I get this in the multisites list:
mysite http://localhost/mysite
subsite1 http://localhost/subsite1
Of course with the standard lines of code to include in .httpdocs it doesn´t work.
Regards

No, it is not a bug, you have wrong URL and wrong htaccess.
These are things you must set, not Elxis.
If you do it correctly Elxis multi-sites will work fine even if Elxis is installed inside a folder.

Please check this:
My site is installed using wamp at localhost/myelxis
My .htaccess contains this code:

I have created a subsite (subsite1) and as a result I get this in multisites list:
1 myelxis Yes http://localhost/myelxis
2 subsite1 subsite1 Yes http://localhost/subsite1
I have followed the steps of Elxis Documentation in elxis.net, What is wrong?
Thanks in advance
-
This is the third time I tell you the same thing, the URL of the sub-site is wrong!
The correct url is this:
http://localhost/myelxis/subsite1
Open config2.php and set the correct value for URL.
private $URL = 'http://localhost/myelxis/subsite1';
-
Yeap ;)
-
Sorry but I already have private $URL = 'http://localhost/myelxis/subsite1'; in config2.php.
-
I can´t attache an image here, but this
1 myelxis Yes http://localhost/myelxis
2 subsite1 subsite1 Yes http://localhost/subsite1
Is what appears in MULTISITES PAGE in ADMIN PANEL after creating the subsite and I thing that´s the problem "http://localhost/----------------------/subsite1"
THANKS
-
I have the same problem with this with Xampp.
Created Multisite shows the link to localhost/multisite and not to localhost/elxis/multisite
Alle changes in the config2 and htaccess are ok.

As we have said several times installing Elxis inside a folder is not a good option.
Elxis is a major CMS that wants to be the king of the web, by installing it inside a folder you limit it.
I am going to check it now and I will reply in a few minutes.
EDIT
If you have installed Elxis in a sub-folder then Elxis can't determine the current sub-site as the folder name in the URL confuses it.
To solve this problem do this:
1. Open file includes/multiconfig.php
2. Find this:
foreach ($multisites as $id => $site) {
if ($site['active'] == false) { continue; }
if ($site['folder'] == $folder) { $multisite = $id; break; }
}
Add below:
if (($multisite == 1) && isset($p[1])) {
foreach ($multisites as $id => $site) {
if ($site['active'] == false) { continue; }
if ($site['folder'] == $p[1]) { $multisite = $id; break; }
}
}
Save the file and you are ready.
I don't add this change in Elxis release as I think this setup, Elxis in sub-folder + multi-sites is a bad idea. Off course its OK for your local sites. So just do this change on your local Elxis installation.

datahell <- you are the best! ;D
Now it works fine at Xampp! Thank you!
Only the link in the ACP shows the wrong link (localhost/multisite) but when i call the multisite manually, it works.
I need this only for testing. On my live site, the elxis installation is in the root. I think there'll be no problem with the default settings.

Thanks, it works now.
