MSM installation on Joyent (TextDrive)

    I’m trying to install and configure MSM to work on a Joyent hosting plan. My first site, the “default site” was working and still works fine but I have issues with the 2nd site.

    So first let me tell you that for any domain you add to the Joyent hosting plan, it creates a standard structure of folders, each with .ssh, logs, cgi-bin,  etc. folders, running its own php.fcgi. Following the installation instructions I put the index.php and path.php files in the 2nd site’s webroot folder. I also edited the path.php adding a relative path to the system folder (in my case ../../../mydefaultsite.com/web/public/system/).

    In the System Preferences/General Configuration of the admin panel I used the following settings:

    URL to the root directory of your site:  <a href="http://mysecondsite.com">http://mysecondsite.com</a>
    URL to your Control Panel index page:    <a href="http://mydefaultsite.com/system/index.php">http://mydefaultsite.com/system/index.php</a>
    URL to your themes folder:               <a href="http://mydefaultsite.com/themes/">http://mydefaultsite.com/themes/</a>
    Theme Folder Path:                       /users/home/domains/mydefaultsite.com/web/public/themes/

    When running the admin panel I can change sites with no problem except that when I go to the Publish tab I get “You are not authorized to post weblog entries”. Also when I go the 2nd site homepage I get the default site’s content unformatted (without stylesheet information).

    Any suggestions on how to setup correctly MSM will be greatly appreciated.

    Are you logged in as a superadmin while testing this?  Also, do you have any weblogs created in the second site?  Check Admin -> Weblog Administration -> Weblog Management while under the second site.

    Do you have a link to the public page of the second site, that is unstyled, so we can have a look?

    Lastly, what version and build of EE are you on?

    Lisa, as you guessed,  the problem with the empty post tab in the Admin panel was due to fact that I didn’t created any weblogs. So this issue is solved.
    The public address of the second site is : http://vacationrentals.gr.

    So the add-on site is ok now- but on the main site you get the ‘You are not authorized to post’ message?  Otherwise, you can access all the tabs on the main site fine?  Hm- shouldn’t be happening if you are logged in as a superadmin.  Are you sure you are?  And can you check your group id- could just echo it out in a template via {group_id} global.
