[opencms-dev] multi-site static export

[Christian Steinert]

As far as I understand it you are right that the export names for the two 
sites must be different. This means that you have to export the sites into 
different subfolders. These subfolders will then also be needed on the 
weebserver itself - at least if you use absolute paths. So site 2 would 
live in a folder called "2" and you would have to put an alternative index 
file onto the server that redirects from /index.html to /2/index.html
Probably you also have to export site 1 into a subfolder to make sure that 
the two experts don't get mixed up.

This kind of setup definitely works.

In addition you can try to configure opencms to use relative links and see 
if that allows you to put the second site into the httproot folder despite 
exporting it into a subfolder. Last time I tried relative links I went into 
some sort of trouble but this was several years ago. Sadly I don't recall 
what exactly the trouble was.

This is all that I can think of.

Good look
Christian
