    Howdy Alex,

    You sure must be busy answering all these questions!

    I'm trying to figure out how I might create a new website now that I have everything installed and working. Do you have any documentation available for this?

    Here's what I'm thinking I'd have to do:
    1. Create a site from the admin page.
    2. Create a ton of templates for my new site.
    3. Create pages as I need them using my templates.

    But the one thing that I don't know how to do yet is this:

    Set the URL of the new site to a specific directory.
    ie: Sitename= "Site One", URL="/site1".

    Magellan complains saying:
    "No no no. I want to define the path and the URL or else I'll give you a 404 error!"

    Basically, I'm starving for some Magellan usage documents! I'm stooging around in the dark. To quote Roger Rabbit "PPPPppppplllleeeease Eddie! Help me!"

    ;-)

      Sorry John, I forgot to flag this forum as monitored and I've seen this your post only now.

      The first three steps are ok. The path is automatically determined by Ampoliros: a directory with the same name as the "Id" field is created under the public ampsites directory. You may choose your own path, but be sure the web server user can create it, eg. it has the right permissions.

      The URL must be an absolute URL pointing to that directory.

      Alex
