[opencms-dev] How to use ADE in multi-site configuration on OC 10 ?

[Alex Kandzior]

For an installation with multiple sites, you must configure OpenCms like this:

All access to the OpenCms workplace or any ADE functions must always be through the URL configured in „workplace-server“. 

The configured „workplace-server“ must be a different URL then any „server“ configured for site access.

So in your case the problem is that your site1.dk <http://site1.dk/> is configured both as workplace server and as regular server.

The consistency of the links generated in OpenCms cannot be guaranteed otherwise. 

In 9.x it was possible to create such a (faulty) configuration, so we added the warning in 10. 

The problem in 9.x is not immediately visible because IIRC it affects only links generated between sites managed in OpenCms.

Kind regards,
Alex.
