Dear Team,

I am unable to create slave site on IIS, can you please give me brief steps to create.


Thanks & Regards

The steps are described in the tutorial.

The answer depend on your environment and the tutorial is there to help you identify your specific case.

To reply, I need to know:
- The platform (Unix, Windows, ...)
- If the symbolic link is allowed and if forbidden the result of the hello world procedure (step 4 to 7)

If Symbolic Link is allowed, you will find sample values in the tutorial step 9

See the tutorial www.jms2win.com/tutorial

Sample values:

* Site ID = slave1
* Domain name = {site_url}/multisites/{site_id}
* Deploy directory = {site_dir}

as i mentioned IIS, so its windows platform, no symbolic links. i'm able to enter siteid, domain (with url/mltisites/subdirectory) which creates the subfolder in multisites folder but after that i'm stuck. how do i make the slave site run, i could see only two configuration php files in the subfolder i chose. do i need to manually copy the template folders and installation folder in the subdirectory? after creating the slave site in admin i choose to use same db, but how and when the tables are created? I understand that the tables are created from the installation process of slave site, if so, i'm not able to get to that point.

please reply at the earliest.

thanks for your quick reply earlier.

just to let you know that,

i also have the apache web server 2.2.11 which runs on a different port on windows platform, if configurations in apache are simpler then i can do those as well.

On Windows and IIS, to use JMS with a sub-directory, you have to go in IIS management and create a virtual disk that correspond to the root directory of your master website (not the sub-directorty).
This will simulate the case of the domain or sub-domain that must be assigned to the same directory than the master.

See tutorial step 10 & 11 that will redirect you to the documentation to configure the hosting server on IIS.
See /faq#sec-112

So in summary,
Go in IIS management and create a virtual disk (ie. slave1) that is assign to the same directory than your master website.
So after this operation, you should be able to access your website with either
www.domain.com
or
www.domain.com/slave1

The expected result is that you arrive to the front-end of your master website.
This will allow you to check that you have provided the correct directory path when you have defined the virtual disk.

Once you have that, you can go in JMS and define the slave1
Site id = slave1
domain = www.domain.com/slave1

That's all.

You can do that also with domain or sub-domain that you have to define in IIS in such way that you always assign the same document root directory as the master website.
All the domain, sub-domain or sub-directories must use the same directory path when the Symbolic Link is forbidden.

I managed to create slave site.

while creating slave, i did not got index.php and index2.php in multisites/slave1.

while browsing slave site its pointing to the master site configurations.

can help me in this.
