Multiple Qucik Starts on same server

jmoreland — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 12:46:24 GMT

Is it possible to create multiple web quick starts, for example, by adding the dashlet to multiple Share sites and importing sample data for each site? I thought by changing the Web App Context in the meta data for each site I could run multiple quickstarts, but they always appear at http://localhos

I have more than one running on same server. One under a site called Seed and another called WCMQS.

Have you changed the root note Site node (Quick Start Editorial) to reflect the Host, Port and Web app context you want to use. Its under edit metadata for the folder. You also need to have web app running under your webapp directory that matches the web app context. So in my case I have a seed and wcmqs webapp running on the same tomcat server.

I also got some strange behaviour where it was always resolving to wcmqs webapp when I first set seed site up. It eventually resolved itself but I was unsure of how. One thing I think may be worth trying is changing a file in your website and publishing. I know after I did this my new webapp was resolving fine.

Yes, as Brian describes, you should be able to run multiple copies of the web application within a single Tomcat, just change the name of each weapp folder, and set the meta data (webapp context and port) accordingly for the editorial and live folders. Alternatively you can have a single webapp delivering multiple Web QS sites, just using different ports.

I think what Ben meant there was that you can use a single webapp to deliver multiple WQS websites by using different host names (rather than ports).

Yes, sorry for the bad info! Just use another hostname to reference another QS site using the same webapp.
