[opencms-dev] After modifying opencms for ROOT and multisite, online project for second site does not show up!

[Gaith Bader]

Hello Christian,

Thank you for your reply, the modifications to all pages that I did  
are pretty much the ones that were mentioned in the howto in the  
Opencms documentation, as for the actual domain names that I am  
using, to my understanding, they are being defined or lets say showed  
the right way to be directed when they are sent to tomcat in the  
server.xml page  and then in opencms-system.xml as shown below...

As you can see, I already have defiend port 8081 for site2 while 8080  
is for the default site, but I am going to have a look again at what  
you wrote and see if I can do some modifications, maybe it could work  
the way you said...

Cheers,
Gaith
