Uploaded to DevStage and blank pages comes up

Hi Joe,

  I don't mean to be a pain, I just finished the skins for this second site and ready to launch..here is where I'm havin problem.

  As per the documentation I did the instructions carefully , check my web.config and made sure that 'AllowMultipleSites' is true and FALSE on the second site, I have 2 Folders, one is the original (where I setup the second site) using 'New Site' on Site Settings, and added the hostname where it says hostname mapping, the second folder (site number 2) is pointing to the same DB as Site no. 1, I noticed that 'RelatedSiteID' in Site number 2 is defaulted to '1' i don't know if I should change that. So I upload site number 2 on the DevStage server and it works, but It wasn't pulling any pages not showing anything just blank, so I go in and look at the DB and I saw that I have one entry which is 'SiteID' = 2 , ModuleID = 85 (I assume this is continuation of the 1st site moduleID and so on..

  So , any ideas on what I could be probably be doing wrong?

 I'm on my final step here and it drive me nuts, but any thoughts as always is very much appreciated.

regards,

Gil

Re: Uploaded to DevStage and blank pages comes up

I am not finding it easy to understand what you are doing so it is difficult to help. There should be just one installation of mojoportal files so I don't know how you can have AllowMultipleSites false on the second site and tru on the first site. There should only be one Web.config file, you do not install more files for additional sites.

All the sites use the same installation and same db, they have some files like skins and stuff separate but mojoportal takes care of that for you and creates a new folder at /Data/Sites/[SiteID] when you create a new site from the web page and then it copies skins and needed files there, so you do not need to put additional files anywhere.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Uploaded to DevStage and blank pages comes up

Sorry for the confusion, now I see it, so One installation, One DB and I understand about the Data/Sites/(site number). The reason I thought you have 2 different installation (folder) is because you have to point the DNS to the second folder(site number 2)

Anyway, what do I do with DNS? I tried pointing it to one folder (site number 1)  but but when I go to site number 2 it pulls out the same content as Site number 1. Am I missing some settings?

thanks again,

-gil

Re: Uploaded to DevStage and blank pages comes up

DNS is only concerned with host names not folder names. So if you are using multiple sites based on folders then you have the first site at the root using only the hostname:

http://somehostname/

and the second site in a folder like:

http://somehostname/somefolder/Default.aspx

There is no additional DNS needed for the second site because its at the same hostname, hostname is resolved to an ip address by DNS, it does not care about folders.

If you use multiple sites with different hostnames you need a fixed ip address and you need DNS records to resolve each hostname to the ip address but with folder based sites at a single hostname you do not need this.

Hope it helps,

Joe

finally got it up but pulling same content from site number 1

Hi Joe, thanks for your last reply. Hoping this will be the last time I will try to ask help on this thing.

I have used one installation and one db now, I have added a hostname mapping in site number 2(siteid=2) through my first site (site number 1) and this is correct right?

so now, I open up site number 2 on the browser, it pulls data content from site number 1 (siteid=1).

Any possibilities why this occurs?

thanks much,

gil

DISREGARD: finally got it up but pulling....

Hi Joe,

 Please disregard this post, two sites are already working perfectly using one database, I just had to add "relatedsiteid" to the web.config

  For your site collection , this is the new website ...www.travisbuilder.net

 

  thanks again for all your help,

gil
