Hi Paul, This is sligthly different question, but definetly under the same root. Can you please explain a bit how you are managing multiple websites in one instance, because there are few solutions (not complete though) which says that for multiple websites you can duplicate left hand menu i.e. left hand menu is going to grow as the number of sites grow... And so on other e.g roles etc.
1- How are you doing multiple websites 2- How permissions are being handled 3- Activations 4- Do you have to tweak "sitemap", "search" and "navtigational" buit-in tags or the just work out of box If you could throw some light on these things that would be really really helpful... Cuz at the moment we are managing 10 mini webistes for the same company but I am doing them in separate tomcate instances i.e. using CATALINA_BASE which some how gives you more reliability in a sense if one instance goes down at least other 9 are fine... But I do want to know how things are working in one instance because that is easy to manage and that is the right way of using a CMS :-). I am using mag 2.1.5 in linux environment.

In Magnolia, my sites are each hung off a separate node. In my previous proxy, I rewrote a request for "/" to read "/ai/index.html" to start at the right level. I was intending to do this redirection (from "/ai/" to "/ai/index.html") in Magnolia, but for some reason* I couldn't seem to make it happen. So I added to my Apache Virtual Server definitions the following two lines, placed after the server names and before the proxy definitions: RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^/$ /index.html [P] Notes: I also had to enable mod_rewrite, of course. The rule simply changes a URL (before redirection) of "/" to "/index.html"; it then invokes mod_proxy (by the [P]) to complete the rewriting uniform with all other URLs. URLs which are not trapped by the rewrite rule pass straight to the proxy rules in any case. I now have all my sites working through this mechanism, and will make it live tonight or tomorrow morning after a little more testing. Paul * I tried VirtualURLMapping with no success; and couldn't understand the Wiki articles about redirection templates - sadly, they assume a higher level of familiarity with templating than I yet have. -- Paul Hodges ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://documentation.magnolia.info/docs/en/editor/stayupdated.html ---------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------- for list details see http://documentation.magnolia.info/docs/en/editor/stayupdated.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
