multi-sites

[datahell]

I never said that.
I recommend installing Elxis in the web site root but you can install it in a folder if you like (in this case prefer a sub-domain).
The latest release (rev1302) fixes the installer's problem with sub-folders, so you can install elxis in a sub-folder.

Elxis 4.x has been built as a platform for small, medium and large scale sites.
We have focus a lot on performance issues in order to run good under high pressure on large scale sites.
But finally, it is the web master the one who makes Elxis work good or not.
We are not responsible for bad setups, settings, slow or overloaded servers, etc...
You should not, for example, try to built a site like yahoo.com in a shared hosting environment. You are an idiot if you do it.
It is up to you how you will use it, it depends on your skills, wisdom and knowledge.

I build small scale websites on shared envirorments, so this was an importance issue for me. I am going to download the new revision since this issue is solved. I use elxis since 2006 because its the best platform. Cheeres to everyone. Keep up the good work.

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

Not really.
If you have example.com, you can always create site2.example.com direct it to example.com/site2 and it will install fine. No need to have one hosting for each install.
Since subdomains are offered for free by host companies.

But, since datahell have fixed the subfolder issue, my answer is quite pointless. 
Just my 2cents.

I agree much with datahell, it is up to webmaster to make great of the CMS.
"A sword is only as great as the swordsman" ... or something like that. Haha. Cheers!

Guys i think there i a missunderstood here  myabe because of my bad english.

I host my sites at shared hosting. My main domain is in /public_html. When i add a new domain at cpanel a folder is created, having the domain name lets say /public_html/domain2 and this is the main folder for this domain. - Nothing new. This is how shared hosting works.

When i tried to install the first revisions anywhere else except in /public_html (for example /public_html/domain2) there was a problem. So i was not able to use the first versions at /public_html/domain2 which ofcourse is a top level domain.

With the last revision, this problem is solved. Of course im not interested to install elxis at subfolders. I shown so much interest about this issue because i was able to install elxis only at my main domain and not to the extra domains which i have at this shared server.

That was the reason why i missunderstood the how subsites works. Because i throught we should install it only at /public_html. Big confusion. Forget it if you don't understand me

Multisites doesn't seem to work good on my server.. It is a clean install of nautilus with mysql db, it is installed under /public_html/test folder. The main site works perfect, but my testing multisites seems offline either in "test/estia" an either if i force online through config2.php, it works without images and the admin page calls an "error 404" and "code: E404-CCON-0005"

Have you enable some rules at the .htaccess file, a_xenias? If yes, can you please mention us what do you mean by telling 'offline'?

[xenios]

Hi, i don't have change anything in .htaccess except the rewrite rules that i had copy & paste after the creation of the second site. I took the code that appeared as it was and pasted it into the bottom of the .htaccess file.

After the creation of the second site through multi-site panel the link opens with the message that the site is off-line. The same thing appears if i try to put /estia at the end of my link to access administration.

I forced on-line mode through config4.php file but then i have fatal error at administration page and nothing works at front-page.

Nothing seems to change in main site that works normally in the front-page and in administration.

I will describe from scratch my installation:

"xxx" is the word that will be replace real names so i do not have to expose my work.

1)Root: /public_html/   http://www.xxx.gr  this comes with Elxis Aphrodite.

2)subdomain of root that i tried at first: /public_html/xxx.xxx.gr     http://xxx.xxx.gr (i had the same problems in multisites)
 
3)Main site that works:  /public_html/xxx/  http://www.xxx.gr  (this is a second domain (not subdomain) in the same ip and there is an installation of elxis nautilus with .htaccess works perfect there!)

4)Multisite with problem  /public_html/xxx/xxx  http://www.xxx.gr/xxx  (this is coming after the creation of a second site through multi-site panel. Here it comes the problem)


I also include screenshots and attachments that will help more than my description.   Download the .rar file from http://www.xenias.gr/temp/elxis1.rar .

As you have the site in a sub-folder you have to place one more path (the sub-folder) in htaccess in front of the relative paths and set properly the re-write base.

Once more: we do not recommend placing Elxis inside sub-folders.

Example for sites in sub-folders:
RewriteRule ^/folder/mysub/estia/inner.php folder/estia/inner.php [L]

From your reply i understood that there is no problem if install elxis to subdomain.
Why it is not recommended to use elxis in a subfolder? I didn't use subfolders but subdomain and a main domain.  What problems should i expect if the installation is not in root?

[datahell]

htaccess is like onion layers. If you have an other cms with htaccess in the root folder and elxis in a sub-folder with an other htaccess they may be overlapped. Most people don't know how htaccess work, even "professionals" don't know such basic things... Also the filesystem of the one cms is internal to the other. It is also not good from a design and seo point of view. You must be careful and most people isn't...

Even Elxis 4.x multi-sites, although there is no need of second elxis installation, is a featured addressed only to advanced users. We don't recommend you enabling multi-sites unless you fully understand how they work.

[xenios]

Ok, thanks. I think this answer goes for everyone that is not professional or specialists, so why don't you promote a professional version of Elxis and another one for newbies? It will save you much time from answering in people that is not "pro".

As far as the interface is concerned, I would like to have two active languages for the main site but only one language for a sub-site. Yet, I see that this is not possible; I cannot "switch on/off" installed languages. Would it not be a good idea to have an option to "disable" one or more languages for the main site or the sub-site(s)?

[hakangur]

After I posted my message about disabling certain languages, I realized that this option is possible through the mod_language module. Therefore, please disregard the previous message.

Hi,

Did you find a hack to solve this? I would also like multisite for different domains.
