Thanks for this Michael,

> How are you loggin in to the admin part of the site. Well I hoped that the default was what they appear to call 'URI' resolution. And it certainly appears that way in my sinte.ini immediately after install. So that I would be doing http://ez3.jcsolutions.co.uk/ to get to the default, which would be the user site, and something like http://ez3.jcsolutions.co.uk/admin/ to get to the admin site. But of course it does look as if the http://ez3.jcsolutions.co.uk/ is trying the admin site, or that the user site is demanding a login. The top left corner of that screen does say >User/Login.

> CheckValidity=false
> RequireUserLogin=true
> MatchOrder=host;port;uri From what I mentioned above, I thought I would have 'uri' first in this statement and sure enough by default it is.
> URIMatchType=element
> URIMatchElement=1
> URIMatchRegexp=^/([^/]+)/
> URIMatchRegexpItem=1
> HostMatchType=regexp
> HostMatchElement=0
> HostMatchRegexp=^mtest(.+)\.bf-internal\.com$
> HostMatchRegexpItem=1
> HostMatchSubtextPre=
> HostMatchSubtextPost=mtest.bf-internal.com
> IndexMatchType=regexp
> IndexMatchElement=1
> IndexMatchRegexp=^/index_(.+)\.php$
> IndexMatchRegexpItem=1
> IndexMatchSubtextPre=index_
> IndexMatchSubtextPost=.php

> These two are very key:
> HostMatchRegexp=^mtest(.+)\.bf-internal\.com$
> HostMatchSubtextPost=mtest.bf-internal.com
> This sets up the DNS to be like the following:
> mtestadmin.bf-internal.com
> mtestuser.bf-internal.com I thought these looked important, but then because I was using URI, the SiteAccess instruction document seems to imply that it is not needed. Just out of interest, I presume that as a 'co.uk' domain I would use something like HostMatchRegexp=^mtest(.+)\.bf-internal\.co.uk$ if I were doing that?

> user.bf-interanl.com:1338 I will have a look at these settings, but it seems to me, reading between the lines, that by default the system uses uri resolution, and that in my site.ini it is set up that way. There is a setting in SiteSettings called 'AdminSiteURL' or something and I don't know what to put in there if I am using URI resolution. I may have to go and try to use Host based resolution - which would be a great shame as I have a name service providor who limits the number of host names I can have per domain, so it looks great to me to be able to access version three with only one. If you use host based resolution by the way, do you just copy the info from the doc/install file again into the settings for the admin hst in the httpd.conf?
> I hope this help,
> Michael Thanks for trying. I'd really like to get there sometime soon! Jock
