## FAQ
|
|
|
|
### How can I restrict a content author to a particular subsite?
|
|
|
|
|
|
To lock down a subsite to certain content authors you will need to create a group in security add the content authors
|
|
to this group and then specify that this group only has access to a the relevant subsite.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Why is the first site I have developed is appearing as the main site?
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you install SilverStripe with Subsites no subsites will exists and you will just have the main site.
|
|
If you install Subsites to an existing sites then the current site will be classed at the main site.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### What is the difference between the main site and the sub sites?
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main site will be the your primary focus so if SilverStripe was using Subsites we will have silverstripe.com
|
|
as the main site and a subsite would be something like doc.silverstripe.com
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Will I need to make any changes to my domain name?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Potentially if you intend to have something like subsite.mydomain.com as well as www.mydomain.com both running on
|
|
your SilverStripe install on the same server then you will need to check that that subsite.mydomain.com points to
|
|
the same web server as www.mydomain.com You may also need to speak to your domain registrar and hosting provider
|
|
regarding this to confirm if this will work.
|
|
You can confirm if your sub domain is set up by pinging it and confirming if the IP address returned is the same as
|
|
your main website. However this does not guarantee this will work as your hosting provider may need to set up a
|
|
virtual host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Will I need to set up a virtual host to use subsites?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes if you are running on a Apache server a virtual host will need to be set up to support a subsite, you will need
|
|
to speak to your website administrator or hosting provider to facilitate this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### How can I test a subsite works on my local machine or on a machine without a virtual host being set up?
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can simulate subsite access without setting up virtual hosts by appending ?SubsiteID=<ID> to the request.
