Using the tutorial to create a new site 'mybookstore.com'
First of all I have run the windows installer.
The tutorial give the example of using hostname so I have put an entry in my host file:
127.0.0.1 ww.mybookstore.com localhost admin.bookstore.com
(I can ping www.mybookstore.com with reply from 127.0.0.1)
I have then created a new mysql database.
C:\ez\mysql\bin\mysql.exe
mysql> create database bookstore;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.04 sec)
mysql> grant all on bookstore.* to bookstore@localhost identified by 'bookstore';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.45 sec)
mysql> exit
Bye
In the C:\ez\Exponential\settings\siteaccess folder there are sub folders called admin, demo, sdk and user. I have renamed these to org_admin, org_demo, org_sdk and org_user.
I have then created folders admin and www
I have also created the folder C:\ez\Exponential\settings\override
I have then set- up the C:\ez\Exponential\settings\site.ini file and made the following changes:
[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=true
I have then set-up the site via IE. http://127.0.0.1/index.php
System Check - No problems
Database set-up
Servername localhost
Socket
Databasename bookstore
Username bookstore
Password ********* (bookstore)
Confirm password ********* (bookstore)
The database was successfully initialised (demo data not installed)
Email Settings left blank
Site Details - Title - Bookstore - URL - www.bookstore.com
4 files created in C:\ez\Exponential\settings\override
i18n.ini.append.php image.ini.append.php setup.ini.append.php site.ini.append.php
The tutorial advises that you need to make changes in site.ini but I have changed site.ini.append.php
[SiteAccessSettings]
MatchOrder=host
HostMatchRegexp=^(.+)\.mybookstore\.com$
HostMatchSubtextPost=\.mybookstore\.com
I have then created folder/file C:\ez\Exponential\settings\siteaccess\admin\site.ini.append with settings:
[SiteSettings]
LoginPage=custom
[SiteAccessSettings]
RequireUserLogin=true
And also C:\ez\Exponential\settings\siteaccess\www\site.ini.append with the setting:
[DesignSettings]
SiteDesign=mybookstore
[SiteAccessSettings]
RequireUserLogin=false
I have then created folder/file C:\ez\Exponential\design\mybookstore\templates\pagelayout.tpl
With the contents (from the tutorial):
If I try to access http://admin.mybookstore.com I get the page cannot be displayed.
So I logged into the site http://127.0.0.1/index.php using admin and publish
Went to setup > content and created a new class called Book as per the tutorial
(ID 14) Created a folder in root called Books. Clicked on Books and created a new Book and sent for publishing. Created a template line_class_14.tpl and full_class_14.tpl in C:\ez\Exponential\design\mybookstore\override\templates\node\view
If I access admin.mybookstore.com/index.php I am taken to the login page and can login using admin - publish
I also get this if I access www.mybookstore.com/index.php
This appears to be directly related to DefaultAccess entry in the file
In C:\ez\Exponential\settings\override\site.ini.append.php
If it is set to admin I get the login page for both URLs and if it is set to www I get to the site without logging in but cannot see the book data I inputted.
I also get a link for Default object view. Click to create a custom template ?? So, can anyone help me with what's wrong in the set-up? Regards DT
