The following topics assume that you have previously installed a sample Corporate Site. We will leave the existing website and add a new website that will run on http://127.0.0.1.
|
Multiple sites and Visual Studio's built-in web server
If you are 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 any domain other than localhost, you will use the localhost domain again. |
Sign in as Administrator to Site Manager -> Sites and click New site wizard.
In the first step, choose to Create a new site using a wizard. Click Next to proceed.
In the second step, enter the following details:
•Site display name: My website
•Site code name: mysite
•Domain name: 127.0.0.1 (if you are using Visual Studio built-in web server, set the default value to localhost)
•Site 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.
In the third step, you are asked to select objects which should be imported to your new site. Do not change anything and click Next.
In the fourth step, the progress of object import is displayed.
In the fifth step, you can choose the master page. You can change or modify it at any time later. For now, please choose the Blank master page option.
Click Next. In the sixth step, you can design the site map of your new website. Click New and add a new page called Home and select the Templates with editable regions -> Simple text page template. Click OK to save it.
Click My website and click New. Add a new page called News and select the News -> News list page template. Click OK to save it.
Click Next. You will see a confirmation message:
Click the Edit your new website 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 authentication is not shared over different domains by default. After you sign in, you will see your new, empty website:
You have created the base for your new website. In the next topics, you will learn how to implement the required design.
