The following chapters assume that you have previously installed a sample Corporate Site on your computer. We will leave the existing web site and add a new web site that will run on http://127.0.0.1.

 

 

 

Multiple sites and Visual Studio's built-in web server

 

If you're using the built-in web server in Visual Studio instead of IIS, you need to stop the CorporateSite site in the Site Manager -> Sites dialog first and then you can continue. Since the built-in web server doesn't support other domain than localhost, you will use the localhost domain again.

 

Sign in as Administrator to Site Manager -> Sites. Click New site wizard on the home page.

Site display name: My web site
Site code name: mysite
Domain: 127.0.0.1 - if you're using Visual Studio built-in web server, set the default value to localhost
Default culture: English - United States (by choosing a different default culture, you can achieve displaying date, time and numeric values in culture-specific format)

 

Click Next.

Click the Edit your new web site link. A new window with Kentico CMS Desk opens at domain 127.0.0.1. You need to sign in again (user name administrator, blank password) since the authentication is not shared over different domains. After you sign in, you will see your new, empty web site:
