Squiz Matrix Support

I have some other folders and files on the root of my domain that I want to function outside of My Source… is that possible. I have my PhpAdmin tool that now isn't visible after the install and config.


Second question… will My Source work on a box that is multihomed? I mean if I am doing my own Virtual hosting of several domains will My Source manage all of them/ If so, how is the config different? Or isn't it?



Everything else is working!



Thanks

I don't have an answer to the first question at the moment. With the second - generally, if you have virtual hosting enabled and performed the Apache way (ie. inside <VirtualHost> tags), you would place the aliases inside the appropriate <VirtualHost> tags, instead of at the 'root level' of the conf file.

As for the first question, add aliases pointing to the directories you want Matrix to ignore above the usual Matrix aliases. For example:


Alias "/phpadmin" "/directory/to/phpadmin"

Alias "/__data" "/directory/to/matrix/data/public"

Alias "/__lib" "/directory/to/matrix/core/lib"

…

And so on for the rest of the usual Matrix aliases.

A single installation of MySource Matrix can run multiple domains by specifying all the domains in the VirtualHost block (using ServerAlias tags). You also need to specify all the domains in the System Configuration settings for Matrix (so that it knows what domains its responsible for).


Then, you apply the appropriate domain names to each site you create.

Avi…
I understand the Alias tags… for apache but not sure what you mean by the system configuration settings for the Matrix… during installation the page for the name of the Matrix and the root URL it controls? How do you put the others in there? Separated by semi-colon?

You install Matrix with a single root URL, but once Matrix is installed, you can add additional URLs to its configuration, from the System Configuration page. When you're logged in as "root", the second icon from the left in the top right-hand corner will take you to the System Configuration page. Once there, you can lock the page and add additional URLs to the configuration.
