Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297

Hi,
I just installed v6, and I can't create new sites either using templates or the wizard. The creation fails on Step 1 for either way - it just shows the message: "Objects are being selected" and never finishes.

And the log is chock full 'o hundreds of these errors:

Are there set any limits in the application pool settings for this web site? It seems that the application pool is recycled during the import/new site creation. Which browser do you use? Best regards, Juraj Ondrus


Member	Luke - 11/9/2011 3:32:05 AM RE:Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297 Hi all, Juraj, I can confirm that I have also seen the same error when using the corporate site template or the eCommerce template on a standard development machine (Windows 7 / IIS 7.0 / Integrated Mode App Pool) However creating a new site manually seems to work ok? Best Wishes, Luke


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 11/10/2011 1:45:25 AM RE:Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297 Hi, Are there any limits set for the application pool? What you mean exactly by creating a site manually? Do you mean using the "New site wizard" button in Site Manager interface? The only thing I can suggest right now is to apply latest hotfix to see if it will help :-) Best regards, Juraj Ondrus


Member	lancetek - 11/11/2011 10:47:10 AM RE:Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297 No memory limits set, it recycles once per day. Yes, there are two ways to create a new site using the new site wizard: 'Create a new site using a wizard' or 'Use website template'. NEITHER of them work. I haven't tried to import a site yet. The latest hotfix (6.0.4) did not fix this problem.


Member	lancetek - 11/11/2011 8:21:01 AM RE:Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297 Hi, No other exceptions, it's a brand-new installation. It should take seconds to set up a new site, even if I wait 10mins, the log just fills up with the same error, but the website GUI has no change. IE, Chrome and da Fox. Lance

RE:Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297

Hi,

Just for other users - we were solving this issue over e-mails and as a fix/workaround a second installation into a different web site fixed the problem. It seems that there was some setting or combination of settings in the default web site which caused this issue. Also, as a side effect was that e.g. the expanding of tree nodes in content tree was not working too.

RE:Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297

Hi Juraj,

I am trying to use New Site Wizard link to create a new site.

The Kentico documentation explains that 'multiple sites' can be created and managed through KenticoCMS site manager.

When I try to create a new site called MyblankPageSite, apparently this new site is being created under the same default inetpub\wwwroot\KenticoCMS folder. no new folder is created for this new site?

If I create a blank site and stop kenticoCMS site and start MyblankPageSite site and close the whole browser and want to run localhost\kenticoCMS again then there is nothing to see in my blank page site and not possible to get to the original kenticoCMS site.... ?

I did uninstall and reinstall and when I try again to create a new site and set the path of the new site to localhost\MyblankPageSite\ , the site doesn't get created at all.

reading your posting, does this mean that every time a new site being created we have to have a new installation of CMS for that site?

Thanks in Advance

RE:Can't create new sites in v6.0.4297

Hi,

you can run multiple sites in one Kentico installation. You need to only configure IIS correctly:
Multiple sites in one istallation

Then try to create site using default templates. For example install Corporate site on domain localhost and E-commerce site on 127.0.0.1.

Then you will see the first site using:
http://localhsot/<virtual directory or nothing>/home.aspx

and the second site on:

http://127.0.0.1/<virtual directory or nothing>/home.aspx

Both sites can be running in the same time and only one folder in the project folder is created in your file system as most of content is stored in the database. Some files are stored under site specific folders under the root directory.

In case you need two physical folders please take a look here:
Multiple files in subfolders
