Hey Folks:

I am at wits’ end.

I have multiple site manager set up and installed.

I created a new site. I transferred everything correctly (or so I think…).

I updated my preferences to reflect that new site.

I CREATED a subfolder within my site’s root and have my ISP pointing my domain name to that subfolder.

I copied path.php and install.php

My path.php went from ./system to ../system

I added $site_name = ‘Site_Short_Name’;

I’ve gotten a SLEW of errors. But my latest and greatest is:
Site Error: Unable to Load Site Preferences; No Preferences Found

The actual domain URL is http://www.reserveatlaketravisequestrian.com

it’s “root” folder is pointing to: http://www.reserveatlaketravismarina.com/equestrian

Here are my preferences:

URL to the root directory of your site:  http://www.reserveatlaketravismarina.com/equestrian
URL to your Control Panel index page:  http://www.reserveatlaketravismarina.com/system/index.php
URL to your “themes” folder: http://www.reserveatlaketravismarina.com/themes/

Theme Folder Path: /homepages/40/d212565765/htdocs/reserveatlaketravismarina/themes/

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.

I’m a few steps closer.

I re-read the instructions for the umteenth time.

I now have a blank page. No error. No output. No source.

http://www.reserveatlaketravisequestrian.com

I DO have a site and index page defined.
I DO have my admin, path an index files set correctly (I think.).

directories:
http://www.reserveatlaketravismarina.com <<—- MAIN SITE
http://www.reserveatlaketravismarina.com/equestrian <—- ROOT OF NEW SITE
http://www.reserveatlaketravisequestrian.com[/url] <—- NEW URL

stored in ...marina/equestrian:
index.php
path.php

path.php:

<?php

// ------------------------------------------------------
// DO NOT ALTER THIS FILE UNLESS YOU HAVE A REASON TO

// ------------------------------------------------------
// Path to the directory containing your backend files

$system_path = "../system/";

// ------------------------------------------------------
// MANUALLY CONFIGURABLE VARIABLES
// See user guide for more information
// ------------------------------------------------------

$site_name = 'equestrian';
$template_group = "eq";
$template = "";
$site_url = "";
$site_index = "";
$site_404 = "";
$global_vars = array(
    "template_path" => "/system/template_files/site"
                     ); // This array must be associative
"my_template_group" => "eq"

?>

NEVERMIND now… Looks as if the DNS hasn’t caught up with the cache.
Strange. The page propagated earlier… Will continue tomorrow. Hopefully all of this is installed correctly and all that I have to do is finish out building the templates.

Hi, MarketingMatters - thanks for reporting your progress.

I think you’re well on the way to getting this working.  A good way to make sure the subdomain is ready is to put a test.html file into that domain’s folder and see if you can access that. Once you can then it’s time to work on getting the MSM running properly.
