Changing the site access name

Wednesday 02 August 2006 1:39:16 pm

Hi there,

I have created a ez publish installation with two site accessess for frontend and admin. Now, I would like to use the installation for a totally other purpose than I expeced and therefore want to change the NAME of the site access.

Is there a safe and documented way for this?

I have tried to rename the directory under settings/siteaccess and tried renaming the values in the settings/override/site.ini.append.php file.

Thanks for any help or hint

This is what I tried. I applied changes to the ini files you mentioned by adding

[SiteSettings]
...
SiteList[]=bk

[SiteAccessSettings]
...
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=bk

to the settings/override/site.ini.append (with bk being the new name I would like to use).

I did not touch any design related stuff, as for both a news design is set, so the desing resides in desing/news.

The result is a "access denied, you have either provided wrong credentials or mistyped the URL" error page (The error message is a loose translation from a error page in German)

Any suggestions where I need to make any more settings?

Thanks Arnaud, that solved my problem.

IMHO, it seems somehow error-prone that the security concept relies on the site access configuration, which has to be set up at a totally different place. It is obviously very easy to put the system in an inconsistent state.
