Hi there,

I have installed a Joomla 1.5.x site ( conventionally ) and it works.

Having installed the JMS addon I appear to have successfully configured a template and am trying to get the first slave site to work. The master database jms_ has been cloned to give client1.

I want the configuration to be :

www.kutchka.net - as the master site

www.client1.kutchka.net as the first slave etc.
www.client2.kutchka.net

Looking at the manual instructions for configuring httpd.conf it says ( p16 ) .. "the objective is to define the same folder path for all websites".

The extract of httpd.conf suggests this folder path ( i.e. the document root ) should be .../multisites. In my installation version 1.1.21 of JMS2Win this subdirectory has just 2 PHP files : config_multisites.php, and config_templates.php...

Should there not be an index.php in the multisites directory ??

I have checked the httpd.conf is correct by putting a dummy index.php file ( containing simply text ) in the multisites directory. This file is shown correctly when I put www.client1.kutchka.net into a browser...

Please help...

thanks

Found the answer by crawling through the tutorials and putting this information and the manual together.

I needed to set the apache httpd.conf DocumentRoot to point to the Root of the master site ( I think because I was using Windows and obviously symbolic links ). Then it fires the installation process correctly when a non templated slave is created. There should, perhaps be a note in the manual to the effect that P16 can be wrong in some circumstances and giving the alternative formulations.

Thanks

Thank you for the advise and also your post in the forum that could help other customers.

As you can imagine, there are plenty of possible configuration that depend on the wide range of hosting server and environment. It is very difficult to provide an exhaustive list of samples.
I am glad to see that the document has help you anyway.
