Hi there,

I have created a Exponential installation with two site accessess for frontend and admin. Now, I would like to use the installation for a totally other purpose than I expeced and therefore want to change the NAME of the site access.

Is there a safe and documented way for this?

I have tried to rename the directory under settings/siteaccess and tried renaming the values in the settings/override/site.ini.append.php file.

Thanks for any help or hint

Don't forget to change the directories names

/design/your_new_siteaccess
/settings/siteaccess/your_new_siteaccess

edit site.ini.append.php in the following:

/settings/overrides/
/settings/siteaccess/your_new_siteaccess/

This what I can think off. Give it a shot and post results.

This is what I tried. I applied changes to the ini files you mentioned by adding 

[SiteSettings]
...
SiteList[]=bk

[SiteAccessSettings]
...
AvailableSiteAccessList[]=bk

to the settings/override/site.ini.append (with bk being the new name I would like to use).

I did not touch any design related stuff, as for both a news design is set, so the desing resides in desing/news.

The result is a "access denied, you have either provided wrong credentials or mistyped the URL" error page (The error message is a loose translation from a error page in German)

Any suggestions where I need to make any more settings?

Hi Marc,

I've just had the same problem...

Don't forget to change your Policies for the "anonymous users" and "registered users" group...

It should works ;)

By the way, you don't have to change the SiteDesign parameters & rename the concerned folders, even if you wanted it...

Regards,

Arnaud

Thanks Arnaud, that solved my problem.

IMHO, it seems somehow error-prone that the security concept relies on the site access configuration, which has to be set up at a totally different place. It is obviously very easy to put the system in an inconsistent state.
