Re: Multiple sites with one db

If the domains actually point to the separate directories you shouldn't need any redirecting. This sounds like the same issue you had with the first site. Are you sure all the files made it to the 2nd site?

Re: Multiple sites with one db

oh the both sites come up fine

but even though they are in seperate directories, they both want to use the data related to SiteID 1, which should only be going to http://www.gamedruid.net

I need to some how tell my second URL Http://www.rtgc.org to use a new SiteID 2

just seems like I'm missing that relationship for some odd reason

Re: Multiple sites with one db

One site has to be the master site. In the master site make sure the AllowMultipleSites setting in Web.config is set to true.

Then go to Admin > Site Settings in the master site and you will see a dropdown next to site name. Chosse create new site and then name and save the site. Now you will see more options below to add a host name for the site this will make it use a different siteid.

In the second site you will have to manually copy the Data/Sites/1 folder and name it Data/Sites/2

Re: Multiple sites with one db

The path /mojoRT/Data/Sites/2/skins/layout.Master is incorrect, there should be a skin name in there like:

/mojoRT/Data/Sites/2/skins/[skinname]/layout.Master

Check the mp_Sites table and make sure the site with siteid 2 has a skins name that corresponds to a skin folder.

The other thing is it could just be a cache issue. Maybe type a space in web.config and save it and upload it again to make the application recycle. This will clear the cache.

Re: Multiple sites with one db

Ok, got it going..

the error was actually caused because no skin was actually selected at the time..

mainly caused by my lack of understanding :)

having the 2 paths.. ment I needed to have basicly the SiteID 2 directory listed on both paths.

makes sense now lol... thanks again for all the input and time.

hopefully I'll get my skins going and be ready to think about some of the moduals/features I might try to build :)
