Multiple Sites in Cumulus 9

This demo will show how to configure multiple webhosts for different catalogs. Great use case if you have separate clients or departments with their own assets.

STEP 1: Open your new catalog in the CWC web client to make sure it is the one you want. Make a note of the catalog path because you will be linking it later.


STEP 2: Go to your apache-tomcat -> webapps directory and make a duplicate of your "sites" folder. Rename it to match the catalog you will be linking.


STEP 3: Open Server Console -> Sites Configurator -> click "Add File" and select your new "sites-config.xml" It will be added to the list just under the original one.


STEP 4: While still in Sites Configurator, double-click the new path to open it and delete the original catalog.


STEP 5: Click "Add..." to select your new catalog. Add it and click "Save" to finish.


STEP 6: Confirm new site loads correctly.
