I'm relatively new to this so I'd appreciate any advice or pointers to documentation.

When installing ez, I set it up with the design folder corporate_site

Now that the site is complete and ready to launch I realise I don't know how to remove this from the address bar.

Currently the domain looks like mydomain/index.php/corporate_site

I would ideally like to remove index.php but can live with this.

But I need to change corporate_site to something else.

How do I do this?

Thanks in advance

Hi GG666 66,

What a funny nick ;)

This is not about design folder but siteaccess.
You can just change siteaccess settings in configuration of your websites.

Look at subfolders of /settings.

You can change names of subfolders in:
<i>/Exponential/settings/siteaccess/</i>

and set appropriate settings in files:
<i>/Exponential/settings/override/site.ini.append.php</i>
<i>/Exponential/settings/siteaccess/*/site.ini.append.php</i>

Remember to clear cache after that.

Good luck!

Hi Juliusz

Thanks for your prompt response.

I've tried what you suggested but it has broken connection with database.I changed back again. Its probably possible but there are probably more changes involved.

Stylesheet links were also missing but this may be just a matter or changing urls in pagelayout.tpl.

I cant see where corporate_site is tied to database.

Can you advise?

Thanks

Hi,

the finest soution is take make a host based setup with different domain names like:

http://admin.yoursite.com
http://www.yoursite.com

which point the different siteaccesses:

/settings/override/site.ini.append.php

[SiteAccessSettings]
CheckValidity=false
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site_admin

MatchOrder=host
HostMatchMapItems[]=yoursite.com;corporate_site
HostMatchMapItems[]=www.yoursite.com;corporate_site
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.yoursite.com;corporate_site_admin
ForceVirtualHost=true
HostMatchType=map

and a apache rewrtie rule like this one to get ret of the index.php:

      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
          RewriteEngine On
          Rewriterule ^/var/storage/.* - [L]
          Rewriterule ^/var/[^/]+/storage/.* - [L]
          RewriteRule ^/var/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
          RewriteRule ^/var/[^/]+/cache/texttoimage/.* - [L]
          Rewriterule ^/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/.* - [L]
          Rewriterule ^/share/icons/.* - [L]
          Rewriterule ^/extension/[^/]+/design/[^/]+/(stylesheets|images|javascripts?)/.* - [L]
          Rewriterule ^/packages/styles/.+/(stylesheets|images|javascript)/[^/]+/.* - [L]
          RewriteRule .* /index.php
      </IfModule>

So there's no need to change the siteaccess name at this point...

Hope this helps..

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

Thanks Norman,
I tried your sugestion. It works up to a point. Problem is both site and admin site just use whatever DefaultAccess is set to.

If DefaultAccess=corporate_site below then
http://mysite.degrees.com and http://mysite.degrees.com both bring up what used to be
http://mysite.degrees.com/index.php/corporate_site

If DefaultAccess changed to corporate_site_admin below then
http://mysite.degrees.com and http://mysite.degrees.com both bring up what used to be
http://mysite.degrees.com/index.php/corporate_site_admin

Do i need to make any changes to settings/siteaccess/corporate_site/site.ini.append.php
and
Do i need to make any changes to settings/siteaccess/corporate_site_admin/site.ini.append.php
?

Below are changed I made to settings/override/site.ini.append.php

Thanks
Fintan
[SiteSettings]
DefaultAccess=corporate_site
SiteList[]=corporate_site
SiteList[]=corporate_site_admin

[SiteAccessSettings]

AvailableSiteAccessList[]=corporate_site_admin
MatchOrder=host
HostMatchMapItems[]=mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site
HostMatchMapItems[]=admin.mysite.degrees.com;corporate_site_admin
ForceVirtualHost=true
HostMatchType=map

The other cow replies, "Hell, I ain't worried, I'm a duck !"

Your settings seemd to be correct if the siteaccess names and DNS entrys are valid it sould work fine. Don't forget to clear the cache...

Do i need to make any changes to settings/siteaccess/corporate_site/site.ini.append.php
and
Do i need to make any changes to settings/siteaccess/corporate_site_admin/site.ini.append.php
?

No, ensure that there are no other overrides those settings...
