Hello,

We have created a websites with Joomla Multi-site module on our test domains joomla.xxx.xxx but when we point the live domain to the folders [www.xxx.xxx] the slave sites stop working i.e. the slave sites show the main site template and content

We simply created the new www dns entries and pointed then to the www folders (which are what joomla.xxx points to) so no new folders/dbs need to be uploaded.
But if you try to access a www.xxx of them, they seem to default to master site.. So I am thinking there is something in joomla multi sites that need to be setup for www?

Thanks,

Al

If this is the master website that is displayed, this is because you didn't defined the "live" domain into the list of slave site.

So if you had a test domain that you want to make it live, ensure that you also have as synonym the live domain present in the slave site defintion.

When a domain is not declared in JMS, this is considered as the master website and therefore this is the master content that is displayed.

So verify your slave site definition and ensure that the live domain is present in a slave site.

Hello Edwin,

Thank you for your help

We were able to resolve the issue by changing the file [config_multisites.php] and adding the alias in multisite backend

We changed the site names in config_multisites.php i.e. there was only joomla.xxx, so we added the www.xxx to each

Thanks,

Al
