The following topics assume that you have previously installed a sample Corporate Site. We will leave the existing website and add a new site running under the http://127.0.0.1 domain.

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 other domain than localhost, you will use the localhost domain again.

 

1. Sign in as Administrator to Site Manager -> Sites.

 

2. Click NewSiteWizard New site wizard.

A new browser window with Kentico CMS Desk opens at domain 127.0.0.1. You need to sign in again since authentication is not shared across different domains by default. After you sign in, you will see your new, empty website:
