[xwiki-users] In the XE Manager, how is the control site selected?
I tried to upgrade my XE version to XEM. I got it working. I setup 5 sites plus what I call the "control" site. Everything seemed to be going well until Last night. One of the Farm sites (1 of 5) is no longer displaying it's home page correctly. When I type in it's url, It displays the "control" site. The other 4 farm sites come up ok as usual. How do I fix this? Is there some parameter someplace that identifies the wiki site that is The control site and which ones are farm sites? Please advise. Lee

I'm not sure what you are calling the "control site" but the main wiki which contains all the wikis descriptors has the identifier "xwiki" and can be always reached by accessing the wiki using the IP if you have doubt about your descriptors. Then you can list/edit all the wiki by going to Wiki Manager on /WikiManager/ space home page. See XEM administration documentation at http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/ for more details.
Please advise.

Ok the "control site" I'm refering to is the main wiki you mention. I was able to access the main wiki via the IP address. Let me try again to descibe the symptom I'm encountering. 1. I have 5 virtual wikis setup and working. Four of them are not having a problem. I enter their url with the proper subdomain and they all come up fine. 2. When I enter the url for the fifth virtual wiki, with a subdomain of "see", I get the "wiki administrator of your wiki farm" page Not the home page for the "see" wiki. 3. How do I correct this problem so when I enter the "see" subdomain I get the the "see" virtual site? Please advise.

Note that the full host name is used to point the wiki and not the subdomain so your descriptor aliases has to be full host (wwwi.xwiki.org and not just www). Only when no descriptor is found the first part of the host (the subdomain most of the time) is used to match the wiki identifier. For example if code.xwiki.org can't match any wiki descriptor alias, XWiki is searching for a wiki called "code" (XWiki.XWikiServerCode page). See http://manager.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/AccessWiki for more details.
Please advise. Lee

Ok. I understand. Thank you. I think I figured out what is going on. The correct virtual wiki that I requested via the url is coming up. What confused me is the first page that comes us should be a customized page I made. But instead, it's the Wiki Administrator page...making me think that I'm getting the main wiki and not the virtual wiki I selected. When I look in the index at the name of t he pages, I can confirm that I'm in the right wiki. The trouble began when I tried to install the Virtual Wiki Manager via a couple of different methods. Very confusing for me. This must have over laid my custom page. So I'm close to fixing this and I don't want to screw it up again. Can you coach me on how to correct this. I want the first page that comes up on this wiki to be a custom page I made in liueu of this admin page. I tried to just edit the page, but it started throwing velocity exceptions... Thanks for your help. What a relief. Lee -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/In-the-XE-Manager%2C-how-is-the-control-site-selected--...
