multi-sites

[michalis1984]

I enable multisites and create another one site. Lets say localhost/site2 and i choose to be enable .. When i visit the site at this url it says the site is offline.

Also, its not clear to me how i will manage this second site. (add articles, select template etc)

[michalis1984]

Is anyone able to control the content of a second wwebsite guys?

In order for the subsite to work you must edit the htaccess file based on the recommendations.

After that you access the sub-site like that

frontend:
http://www.example.com/mysub/
Backend:
http://www.example.com/mysub/estia/

Where "http://www.example.com" the main site, "mysub" the url indentifier for the sub site.
If you have renamed the administration folder change "estia" to what ever name you have set.

Important note: On sub-sites you are not allowed to install extensions, you can only synchronize extensions. If you need an extension, lets say the download plugin, on the subsite and it is not installed the admin of the main site must install it and then the admin of the sub site should synchronize the extension to make it available on the sub-site too.

Great.

It's straight forward and it works fine. Thank you.

I am glad michalis that you succeed!

Is there anything else i have to do in order to work property, except of the .htaccess modify? Maybe create "site2" folder? Put any required files inside?

Because locally works fine. But online when i try to visit www.daskalemata.com/glwsses/estia i got redirected back to www.daskalemata.com/estia so i am not able to login. I turned the site online by editing the config2.php file the value $ONLINE


Also i tried to setup the domain throught the cpanel so www.glwsses.gr points to www.daskalemata.com/glwsses but when i visit www.glwsses.gr i got 500 error

No, don't create a folder! Also dont set up re-directions from cpanel, it wont work.
The sub-sites are virtual.
You only need to modify the .htaccess file, nothing else.
Elxis will do the routing and everything will work fine.

[michalis1984]

I have online a folder /glwsses so that causes the redirection problem. I delete this folder and now is ok 

So if i dont use cpanel redirection. Isnt there any way to gave glwsses.gr works as separete website with the same installation?

i dont want daskalemata.com/glwsses to be the visible domain but glwsses.gr

Isnt possible for each different elxis virtual website have its own domain?

for example

daskalemata.com/glwsses   ---> glwsses.gr
daskalemata.com/site3  ---> othersite.gr
...


 

[michalis1984]

I use this code at .htaccess

Code: [Select]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^glwsses.daskalemata.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.glwsses.daskalemata.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.glwsses.gr/$1 [R=301,L]

It looks to work. Is this the propper way?

[michalis1984]

After some time i realise that this is not what i am looking for 

[datahell]

What you do with redirections, addon domains, etc, is something yours...
Elxis displays sub-sites the way I already wrote.

[michalis1984]

Now i have the main site at www.daskalemata.com and the sub-site as www.glwsses.gr/glwsses  .. if i access glwsses.gr i will see daskalemata.com

What i did was. I add the second domain to my cpanel pointing to /public_html folder , so sub-domain root is the same as main domain.

Then from the elxis configuration i set the url for the sub site as www.glwsses.gr/glwsses (where basically the glwsses is the subfolder). The links at the second site works nice but i cant get rid of the /glwsses folder at the urls

[datahell]

Please don't confuse the other users with your setup, it is outside the scope of Elxis sub-sites.
You wont get rid of the sub-site URL identifier without modifying elxis as sub-sites built based on a specific idea (sub-sites should be on the same domain and appear as sub-folders. You can rewrite a folder to a sub-domain but with the first click you will get again a sub-folder in the URL).
If you want sub-sites in different domains do multiple Elxis installations, don't use sub-sites in this case!

[michalis1984]

Thank you for claryfing this. I was confused because wp offer multible domains with the same installation. I throught the idea was the same, to have different domains with only one installation. Now is all clear. Thank you because the last 3 days i try to find a solution.  Finally i got it 

[michalis1984]

But now as you set it.. i think is importance to be able to install elxis in a sub folder.. and not only at root folder. Because if it can be installed only at root, this means we will need one hosting for each domain/elxis installation
