Hi hindl,
How do I get that file out of the jar file? Or is there some way to prevent users from creating sites without having to extract this file. We also want to hide the Create Site menu item in the Sites Menu in the My Sites widget. We were unable to get this working in 4.2.d, but did get it to work on a test install of 4.2.f. However when I tried moving those modifications in 5.0.b I either got surf error messages and was unable to log into alfresco, or no errors, but the Create Site menu item and link were still visible. Have you been able to hise those links? If you could give specific instructions that would be great.

In order to overwrite the file public-services-security-context.xmlin Alfresco 5 you should:

Extract the alfresco-repository-5.0.b.jar
Copy the file public-services-security-context.xml in the next path

Rename the file e.g custom-public-services-security-context.xml
Modify this line
```
  org.alfresco.service.cmr.site.SiteService.createSite=ACL_ALLOW‍
```
and change ACL_ALLOW to ACL_METHOD.ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR or ACL_METHOD.GROUP_CreatorOfSites

you can download the public-services-security-context.xml from here
https://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/COMMUNITYTAGS/V5.0.b/root/projects/repository/config/alfresco/public-services-security-context.xml

a good starting point for hiding the entries would be

Hello,

I am trying to do site creation in alfresco 5.0d,
Downloaded alfresco-shell-tools into /usr/local/share/ path and have got alfCreateSite.sh inside bin/ folder

But while executing ./alfCreateSite.sh 'Mysite' , getting error as below
./alfCreateSite.sh: line 104: jshon: command not found
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'Path='

So I have downloaded jshon from http://kmkeen.com/jshon/. And inside that I have got 3 files
jshon.1
jshon.c
Makefile

How can I proceed on json installation and after how can I proceed on site creation using alfCreateSite.sh

Please kindly update me.

Regards,
Arya
