I created a new site in control panel. If I go to administer sites it lists the original and the new. If I click on the new one…. the info for the old one comes up.
What info in particular comes up? The Control Panel will look the same.
I looked at the original site… and NOTHING seems to have bene added to the system directory…. I assume it would have duplicated something and put it in a new directory ( new site?) .
Nothing will be added. For the second new domain, adding the path.php and index.php is sufficent.
It seems to be creating a new site in name only. I deleted it and created it 4 times it now has a site id of 5…. the previous ones were deleted. maybe that is why the path ( see above) will not oopen an index page.
This is correct.When you create a new site in the control panel it is adding it to the database, not creating a directory for it. You also have the option of moving or duplicating content from your original site.
The path.php file you added to the new domain’s directory when setting up a new site is more or less a way finder.
Make sure in your new site’s shortname you used when adding a new site through your CP is the same as $site_name = ‘Site_Short_Name’; in your new path.php
