When working on a localhost, the browser does not send all the information to the server like this is the case when working on Internet.
In chapter 9, we have described a specific procedure that consists in adding the "_host_" parameter in the URL.
This parameter is used to enter the domain name that simulate any slave site.
It is mandatory that you don't have ANY slave site defined with a "localhost" URL.
You can put any value but never use "localhost" in any slave site definition.
For example:
Site ID = slave1
Domain =
slave1
When you enter the URL, put
localhost/mytestsite/admininstrator/?_host_=http://slave1
where _host_ is the value of the domain that you defined in the slave site.
You can also enter and ignore the http://
localhost/mytestsite/admininstrator/?_host_=slave1
