Steven E. Bailey	Wednesday 31 January 2007 3:41:11 am Are you sure you are logging in to the admin interface using the correct siteaccess? Check your ini files and make sure that the correct database info is in the appropriate siteaccess or override site.ini.append.php. If you have the database info in your front end siteaccess but not the admin one, then this would happen. No idea why it would break on an install.

Chris Green	Wednesday 31 January 2007 4:21:57 am Yes, I was confused about my siteaccess. It's not clear during the installation process but you seem to get as default when you install ezwebin_site and ezwebin_site_admin. I also seem to have (in my siteaccess subdirectory) admin, eng and setup. eng and ezwebin_site seem identical, setup is empty, admin I'm not quite sure about. I've read the section in the manual on siteaccess and I am a little bit less confused but it's not totally clear to me yet. If I want to change the names for siteaccess can I just change the names of the subdirectories in /var/www/htdocs/ezpublish/settings/siteaccess? Can I safely remove the unwanted ones? It would seem to be sensible to have just the default (user) site access and the admin one.

You might also need to edit the anonymous user's role in the User Accounts section in the administration interface to allow login access to the new siteaccess names. eZpedia community documentation project \| http://ezpedia.org

Yes, I was confused about my siteaccess.

admin, eng and setup. eng and ezwebin_site seem identical, setup is empty, admin I'm not quite sure about.

I've read the section in the manual on siteaccess and I am a little bit less confused but it's not *totally* clear to me yet.

If I want to change the names for siteaccess can I just change the names of the subdirectories in /var/www/htdocs/ezpublish/settings/siteaccess? Can I safely remove the unwanted ones? It would seem to be sensible to have just the default (user) site access and the admin one.
