Sukhbir Khera	Wednesday 27 July 2005 5:11:03 am Hi all, First of all thanks to Mr./Mrs./Miss Lukasz Serwatka for the help. Somehow I designed three sites, but there are some problems with that. <b>1.</b> When I change the settings of one site in it's admin, it gets reflected in all the three sites. <b>2.</b> How to configure the database of two new sites I created manually. <b>what I</b> have done is just copied the folders of first site and renamed them, and the files containing its refrences to the new one. Please help . Thanks. Sukhbir
Frederik Holljen	Wednesday 27 July 2005 5:53:48 am Hi, The settings are reflected everywhere because you have chosen to store them as global override settings. Instead you should choose to store them in the specific override settings for each administration siteaccess. To be specific the global overrides live here: /settings/override/.ini and the siteaccess overrides here: /settings/siteaccess/[siteaccessname]/.ini

Perhaps that would be an easy way for you to progress (set CheckValidity=true in site.ini.append.php). But remember to first ensure that there is a separate database available for each siteAccess. In over-simplified terms each siteAccess defines how the site looks and each database what it contains. Remember that content is stored in a database. Which database?? This is what you have to tell each siteAccess. The answer is placed in the site.ini[.append][.php] file of the particular siteAccess. The site.ini in the overrides directory is shared by all siteaccess and overrides any corresponding site.ini settings contained in /siteaccess/<siteAccessName>/site.ini... The ../settings/overrides directory is for .ini files to be shared by all siteaccess; they override all others. There it will find the name of the database, which server, login name, etc. So, (normally) you need a separate database for each site having separate content; and you need separate site.ini files to specify how to connect to the correct database. NB. The admin interface (which is just another siteAccess, but specially designed to manage the content) needs to always be the second siteAccess which has a login to the same database. e.g. [DatabaseSettings] Server=localhost User=root Password=xxxx Database=sitename The Web Application Service Provider

One more thing, the original site is working fine, but the newly creted sites are asking for user name and password, any help on that. Thanks for the help. Sukhbir
