[opencms-dev] Links and multi-site setups?

[Bernd Wolfsegger]

Hi,

have a look at the configuration below.
Works very well for me and as it seems for others too.
Becaus the thing described on the "multi site howto" does not work properly for many reasons I mentionend in an older post.
The other generell thing is, that the generated paths are differnt calling a side when logged in or when not logged in. So, if you use literal paths in your code you have to make sure, that the correct "root" path is used.
For your site it is "/" when you are NOT logged in and "/sites/mysite/" when you are logged in .... 

Kind regards, Bernd

A working solution is the one below (usingTomcat 5.0.19-13, Apache 2.0.49-27.18.3, MySql 4.0.18-32.9) on SuSE Linux 9.1:
Install OpenCms normally as described.
The pathfragment "/opencms/opencms" will still be there,
but there has to be only a new property in the OpenCms configuration files, where you can select if you want this "/opencms/opencms/" and "/opencms/" or not, because you don't need it in the urls, when you set all as described below.

www.mysite.com is a site
opencms.mysite.com is the OpenCms workspace.

server.xml:
        <!-- Define one connector for opencms.mysite.com -->
        <Connector port="8081" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
            proxyName="opencms.mysite.com" proxyPort="80"
            enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
            acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
            disableUploadTimeout="true" />
 
        <!-- Define one connector for www.mysite.com -->

            enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
            acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"
